Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 6 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions:
-
Preheat Your air fryer: To kick things off, preheat your air fryer to a toasty 375°F. We want it nice and hot for our puffs.
-
Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss in your diced sweet onion and red bell pepper. Sauté them until they’re wonderfully softened and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes.
-
Add the Good Stuff: Now, let’s add the star of the show – the cooked and crumbled Italian sausage. Sprinkle in the fresh spinach, minced garlic, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, garlic powder, chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Stir this delightful mixture together and cook until the spinach is beautifully wilted, and the cheese has melted into a gooey symphony of flavors. Give it about 5 more minutes.
-
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Take your thawed puff pastry sheets and cut them into 4 equal squares each. Now, place a generous tablespoon of our sausage and spinach mixture right in the center of each square.
-
Seal the Deal: Time to make these puffs puff! Brush the edges of your puff pastry squares with the beaten egg. Then, carefully fold each square in half, forming a lovely triangle. Seal those edges well; we don’t want any delicious filling escaping.
-
Into the Air Fryer: Place your beautiful puffs into the air fryer basket. Now, cook them for 8-10 minutes, but don’t forget to flip them halfway through. We’re aiming for a gorgeous golden brown.
-
Serve and Savor: These puffs are best served warm alongside your favorite breakfast sides. Whether it’s a fresh salad or some crispy hash browns, these puffs will steal the spotlight.
