These are just excellent. However, the amounts were way off for me. I made Miller's Puff Pastry recipe #16834 and measured my 6 four inch squares, and filled each square with 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture and I still had over half the spinach mixture left. I had enough pastry to make 1-2 more and still had a huge amount of spinach mixture left over. I'm going to wrap it in a tortilla and bake it sometime in the next couple of days. Luby you might want to recheck the original recipe. Or do tell, I certainly could have messed it up, but I'm pretty darn sure I followed the recipe to a T. Anyway, this is certainly worth trying, bearing in mind that you may have extra filling. One other think, the egg yolk brushing makes these look like you put a thin coat of mustard on it before baking. I'll leave that part out next time.

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
