Perfect to serve at a ladies brunch or luncheon!
I most always use fresh sliced sauteed mushrooms in place of canned, if you use more than 1 cup sauteed fresh mushrooms I suggest to use a 10-inch pie plate instead of 9-inch and roll the puff pastry out a little larger, I also added in small diced red bell pepper
Servings 4-6
Ingredients:
  • 1 puff pastry sheet (use half of a 17-ounce package, thawed according to package directions)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (use half an 8-ounce package)
  • 1/2 cup light cream (such as half and half)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (can use up to 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 cup canned sliced mushrooms, very well drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach (cooked to package directions, then hand-squeezed dry)
  • 1 1/4 cups old cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 green onions, chopped (can use more)
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste (I would start with 1/2 teaspoon each

Instructions:—————————————–

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Prepare a 9-inch glass pie plate.
