- Dash pepper
- 1 cup frozen cut leaf spinach
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 1/3 oz. (1/3 cup) finely shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Step1Heat oven to 350°F. Spray six 6-oz. custard cups or ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Place cups in ungreased shallow baking pan. Place 1 pastry sheet on work surface. Brush lightly with butter. Place second sheet on top. Continue brushing with butter and stacking with remaining 2 pastry sheets. Sprinkle top of stack with lemon-pepper seasoning.

Step2Cut stack in half crosswise to make two 14x9-inch rectangular stacks. Place 1 stack on top of the other. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut stack lengthwise in half. Cut each half into 3 equal pieces to make a total of 6 stacks, each about 4 1/2x4 1/2 inches. Press 1 stack into each sprayed custard cup.
