Spinach Bacon and Ricotta Puffs

Ingredients

3 rashers of bacon, diced,
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2/3 cup cooked spinach (about 1/2 bunch silverbeet, cooked)
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
375g ricotta
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
Handful of mint, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
6 sheets puff pastry, defrosted
Milk
Additional egg

Instructions

1
In a large frying pan, cook the bacon until golden. Toss in the pine nuts for a minute or two at the end to toast.
2
Place the spinach, ricotta, parmesan, egg, mint, lemon juice and zest in a large bowl along with a pinch of salt and some pepper. Stir well. Stir through the bacon and pine nuts and mix to combine. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if required – you may want more mint, lemon or salt & pepper.
3
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
4
Cut 4 to 6 circles from each sheet of puff pastry. Brush some milk along the edges of the pastry then place a dessertspoon of the mixture into the centre of the pastry. Fold over to enclose, pressing the edges together to seal. You want to end up with a half moon shaped puff. Place each puff onto a baking paper lined baking tray.
5
Repeat with the remaining pastry and mixture until it is all used up. Whisk the additional egg with a little milk and brush over the top of the pastries. Place into the oven and bake for around 20 minutes until puffed and golden.

Place into the oven and bake for around 20 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
