• 190g cream cheese, room temperature

• 1/4 cup chopped onions

• 1/2 cup chopped spinach

• 3 cloves grated garlic

1. Spray oil onto a mini muffin pan.

2. Pull apart 2 sheets of pastry, stack them together, and cut into 3 1/2-inch squares.

3. Take 2 squares, place them over each other, and carefully tuck them into each muffin cup. Repeat for the remaining cups. You may need to work in batches.

4. Keep the phyllo tightly covered to prevent it from drying out.
