### How to Make Spinach and Cheese Puff Pastry Squares

1. **Prepare the filling:**
In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in ricotta and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

2. **Prepare the pastry:**
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into squares (about 3×3 inches).

3. **Fill and seal:**
Spoon a small amount of the spinach and cheese mixture onto each square. Fold or top with another square and press edges to seal, or leave open-faced for a rustic look.

4. **Egg wash:**
Beat the egg and brush over the pastry squares to give them a golden shine.

5. **Bake:**
Place the squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

6. **Serve:**
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
