Ingredients
  

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for some heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Add the minced garlic, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s well combined and creamy.

      Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3x3 inches.

        Fill the Pastry Squares: Place about 1 tablespoon of the spinach-artichoke mixture in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill as the mixture may spill out when baking.

          Seal the Puff Pastry: Fold each pastry square over to create a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for added decoration and extra sealing.

            Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

              Bake: Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the mini melts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
