How to Make Cheese Spinach Puff Pastry Pockets

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange 6 frozen puff pastry shells (each about 4 inches) on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  3. Carefully remove from oven. Using a small, sharp knife, cut out the center of each pastry shell, creating a well, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Stir in 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), 4 ounces Fontina cheese (shredded), 2 ounces Parmesan cheese (grated), and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  6. Spoon the spinach mixture evenly into the pastry shells, filling each well.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and the filling is heated through and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
