Boldly Spiced Chicken Fry

Ingredients

4 servings

1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed 7 large eggs, beaten 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach ½ cup ricotta cheese ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese 3 tablespoons shredded fontina cheese ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Prepare Puff Pastry Cups

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take each sheet of puff pastry and cut it into nine squares. Gently roll each square so it fits nicely into a 3-inch pie pan, then press the pastry into the pans and arrange them on a rimmed baking sheet. To keep the pastry from puffing up too much, fill each with a small handful of ceramic baking beads.

Bake and whisk filling

Pop the pans into the oven and bake for about 5 minutes. While the pastry is baking, whisk together the eggs, chopped spinach, milk, ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, fontina, and a pinch of salt and pepper until everything is well combined.

Fill and Bake Pastries

Once the pastry is lightly baked, carefully take the pans out and remove the ceramic beads. Pour the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into each pastry shell. Return them to the oven and bake until the tops turn a lovely golden color and the filling is set, roughly 30 minutes. Let them cool a bit before serving.
