Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the puff pastry sheets into 5-inch squares and chill in the refrigerator.
Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Stir in flour and salt; cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
Stir in diced ham and 1 cup Swiss cheese. Remove from heat.
Arrange puff pastry squares on prepared baking sheet.
Top each square with a spoonful of the ham and cheese mixture and sprinkle remaining Swiss cheese on top.
Fold corners of the dough squares to form smaller squares encasing the filling.
Brush pastry with beaten egg white to glaze.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
