These delicious puffs are fairly easy to make and look elegant when serving.

INGREDIENTS
1 sheet (from a 17-1/4-ounce package) frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
1 package (12 ounces) frozen spinach soufflé, thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten
Grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Unfold puff pastry sheet and cut lengthwise into three equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle into four equal pieces. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
3. Remove tops from puffs and pull out soft dough. Fill each rectangle with about 2 tablespoons of softened soufflé. Replace tops and brush with egg. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Cut each puff in half diagonally. Serve warm.
