cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until thin.

Cut pastry into squares or circles, depending on desired shape.

Place pastry pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Mix cream cheese, herbs, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

Spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each pastry piece.

Add a spoonful of spinach and mushrooms on top of the cheese mixture.

Top with shredded cheese or diced ham/smoked salmon, if using.

Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with fresh herbs or additional cheese as desired.
