### 🧑🍳 How to Make Cream Cheese Spinach Puffs
#### 2. **Make the Filling**
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, one egg, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
#### 4. **Fill and Fold**
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the corners toward the center to create a little pouch or pinch them into a triangle or bundle—whatever shape you like!
5. **Brush with Egg Wash**
Beat the second egg and brush the tops of each puff with it. This will give your puffs that gorgeous golden brown shine.
