30 minutes
Spinach and parmesan tartlets are a refined combination of a crispy puff pastry shell and a delicate, creamy filling. This recipe is inspired by French cuisine, where tartlets are considered an exquisite appetizer. Tender spinach enriched with cream and aromatic parmesan gains a rich flavor complemented by light nutty notes of pine nuts. They are served as a festive appetizer or an elegant dish for a cozy evening. These tartlets pair perfectly with a glass of white wine or a light salad, creating harmony of flavors and textures. The rich and warm aroma will unfold during baking, filling the kitchen with coziness and anticipation of gastronomic pleasure.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Place two round molds of 10 cm on a baking sheet. Cut the dough into 15 cm squares, melt the butter, and brush the dough. Place 2 squares of dough in the molds at an angle to each other. Gently press into the mold to create a crown-like shape at the bottom. Bake for 2-3 minutes until a crispy golden crust forms.
