Puff pastry, also known as pâte feuilletée, originated in France in the 17th century. It is made by layering butter between layers of dough, resulting in a light and flaky pastry. Puff pastry gained popularity in the United States in the 20th century and has been used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Ingredients
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
1/4 cup diced mushrooms
1/4 cup diced tomato
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 egg, beaten
Directions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, tomato, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a floured surface. Cut the sheet into 6 equal squares.
- Place a spoonful of the spinach filling onto one half of each square, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling and use a fork to seal the edges. Repeat for all 6 squares.
- Place the breakfast pockets in the air fryer basket, leaving space in between each one. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious air fried spinach and cheese breakfast pockets!
Notes
- Make sure to fully seal the edges of the pockets to prevent any filling from leaking out.
- Feel free to add in other ingredients such as diced ham or bacon for added protein.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
- Leftover pockets can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, simply place in the air fryer for a few minutes until heated through.
