Ingredients
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (use a light or reduced-fat version if available)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, reduced-fat cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and onion powder until well combined.
Prepare the puff pastry pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut the sheet into 12 equal squares.
Fill the puffs: Place a spoonful of the spinach and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Seal the puffs: Fold each square over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Brush with egg wash: Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Tips to Keep the Points Low:
Use reduced-fat cream cheese cheese: This helps reduce the fat content and points.
Use light puff pastry pastry: If available, use a light or reduced-fat version of puff pastry to lower the points.
Bulk up with more spinach: Adding more spinach to the filling can increase the volume without adding many points.
