Spinach Puff Pastries

I host a lot of big holiday parties and I love doing a big buffet of finger foods like Spinach Puff Pastries, Mini Lasagna Rolls, and Baked Crab Bites. Bite-size appetizers mean you can try a little bit of everything without feeling guilty about it! Throw in mini desserts like lemon curd tartlets, and chocolate ganache cups and I’m a happy girl :).

Creamed Spinach with Bacon happens to be one of my all-time favorite side dishes. I love the rich, creamy sauce the spinach is cooked in and, well, bacon makes everything better. After making it for a Christmas dinner last year I was inspired to save some and turn it into an appetizer by baking it in buttery, flaky, puff pastry. Guys, it is amazing, and it’s the perfect way to make creamed spinach into a finger food!

Tips for Making Spinach Puff Pastries:

  • Thaw the puff pastry dough, slightly, until it is manageable.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry sheet into 9 squares quickly and easily.
  • Brush the puff pastry with egg wash to help it brown nicely.
  • Make the creamed spinach filling a day ahead of time and warm slightly before filling the puff pastries.

Can You Make Spinach Puff Pastries Ahead of Time?

The Creamed Spinach and bacon can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Then all you have to do on party night is stuff your puff pastry and put it in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown. While it bakes chop up your pre-cooked bacon and heat it in the microwave for a minute so it is warm. When the Spinach Puff Pastries come out of the oven garnish with the bacon and you are ready to serve.
