Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

½ cup cream cheese, softened

¼ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry sheets (2 sheets), thawed

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      Prepare the Filling:

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and creamy.

          Roll Out Puff Pastry:

            On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Roll them out gently with a rolling pin to smooth the seams and make them slightly larger.

              Cut the Pastry:

                Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into squares, approximately 3x3 inches in size. You should have about 16 squares in total (8 from each sheet).

                  Assemble the Puff Melts:

                    Place about one tablespoon of the spinach-artichoke filling in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill! Fold the corners of each square towards the center to create a small parcel and pinch the corners to seal tightly.

                      Apply Egg Wash:

                        Transfer the assembled puff melts to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.

                          Bake:

                            Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastries are golden brown and flaky.

                              Garnish and Serve:

                                Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy these mini delights warm!
