So, I thought of my favourite movies and shows and looked on YouTube to see if anyone has created food from these movies or shows. I found many! But, in the end I chose “Kronk’s Spinach Puffs” from the movie The Emperor's New Groove because it was my favourite movie as a kid and I have always wondered what spinach puffs taste like. I chose the YouTuber “Binging with Babish” because his recipe seemed straightforward and I liked most of the ingredients he used.

• Chop the spinach, and shallots.
• Make sure puff pastry is thawed
• Beat one egg (used as eggwash), separate the yolk of another egg (used in the filing).
• Preheat oven to 450 F.

Cook:

• In a heated pan, cook shallots, add crushed garlic, add chopped spinach to pan to wilt
• Add salt and pepper 
• Set aside

Filling:

• Mix cream cheese, (crumbled) feta, Parmesan, and cooked spinach mixture.
• Add egg yolk and mix 

Assemble:

• Roll puff pastry onto a floured surface
• Cut puff pastry into 12 square pieces (3x4 = 12 squares)
• Scoop ~ 2 tablespoons of filling into the middle of a square.
• Brush egg on 2 adjoining sides of the square, join egged edges over the filling, seal and fold.
• Have 6 puffs per sheet tray
• Put in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before baking.

Bake:

• Before putting puffs into the oven brush the top surfaces with the beaten egg
• Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through.
• Cool for 10 minutes after removing from oven. 

Enjoy!

• I didn’t use dill because I do not like the taste of dill.
• I used more garlic because I like garlic.
• I didn’t remove spinach stems because the stems were already small on the spinach.
• I softened the cream cheese for easy mixing 
• I didn’t use bacon because there was none in the house.

What went well:

• Fast to make 
• The spinach puffs browned well
• They were fun to make
• They were delicious

What I could do differently next time:

• I at first used too much filling in half of the puffs so I almost ran out for the last few. 
• I could portion he filling out better next time.
• I used too much egg wash on the first 6 puffs when sealing them and put it too close to the edge. It was hard to seal them.
• In the last 6 I used eggwash to seal but used less and put it a little bit away from the edge.
