Step 1:

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:

In a pan over medium heat, wilt the spinach for 1 minute, then squeeze out excess moisture and cool slightly.

Unroll the puff pastry and cut into 24 equal squares (about 5 x 5 cm each).

Step 5:

Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each square.

Step 6:

Fold the corners of each square towards the center, pinching to seal and form a four leaf clover shape.

Brush the tops with beaten egg.

Step 8:

Bake for 15 18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Step 9:

Remove from the oven and immediately garnish each bite with a fresh basil leaf clover on top.
