ham and spinach puff pastry~

for the first time I wasn't able to make our standard easter brunch, I just made due, and I will say I LOVED this, I forgot to take a pic of it, just snatched a cropped pic off the table... but its worth remembering! I also wanted to use up left overs, so the recipe is small, to fill a single sheet of puff pastry, if you want to make it properly, I would use a full box of pastry cut into 5" squares and double the rest of the recipe
