- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
 
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
 
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
 
- 1/4 cup sour cream
 
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
 
- 1 clove garlic, minced
 
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
 
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
 
- Roll out puff pastry and cut into 6 equal rectangles. Score a smaller rectangle inside each piece, about 1/4 inch from the edge.
 
- Spoon spinach filling into the center of each rectangle and place half an artichoke heart on top.
 
- Brush edges with beaten egg.
 
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until pastry is golden and puffed.
 
- Let cool slightly, then sprinkle with extra Parmesan and serve warm.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent soggy pastry.
 
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
 
- Use fresh spinach if preferred—just sauté and drain before mixing.
 
- Serve with a dollop of herbed sour cream or marinara for dipping.
