Serve: Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes before serving, as the filling will be hot.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: These puffs are best served warm and fresh from the oven. They are perfect for appetizer platters, finger food at parties, or even as a delicious snack with a cup of tea.
Storage: Leftover puffs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
Freezing: These puffs freeze wonderfully! After baking and cooling, store them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container. When ready to eat, simply reheat them in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
Variations:
Meat Lovers’ Spinach Puffs: Add cooked sausage, bacon, or ham to the filling for a meatier version of the puffs.
Cheese Options: Try swapping out the mozzarella and Parmesan for feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor profile.
Herb Infusion: Add fresh or dried herbs like basil, thyme, or dill to the spinach filling for a burst of aromatic flavor.
