Step-by-Step Instructions for Spinach Puffs

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and cut thawed puff pastry into 9 equal squares. Press into muffin pan wells.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, thawed spinach, bacon, one egg, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, feta, and Parmesan. Mix until smooth.
Spoon the filling into each pastry square until just full.
Beat the reserved egg and brush the tops of each filled pastry with the egg wash.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Let cool slightly, then remove from the muffin tin and serve warm.
