Notes
For best results, ensure that the puff pastry is fully thawed before handling, as this will prevent it from cracking. If you prefer a spicier filling, you can add a pinch of chili flakes to the spinach mixture. Additionally, make sure to press the edges of the pastry firmly with a fork to avoid the filling from escaping during baking.
