Mini Pasqualina Tart Parcels Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 package (14 oz) frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 8 oz ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup chopped spinach, cooked and squeezed dry
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about 10 x 16 inches. Cut it into 16 squares.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add in the beaten eggs and stir to combine.
4. Place the squares of pastry onto the lined baking sheet. Add a spoonful of the spinach mixture to the center of each pastry square.
5. Fold each corner of the pastry square up to meet at the center of the spinach mixture. Pinch the edges together to form a parcel.
6. Brush the pastry parcels with the remaining beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
