I love puff pastry and fill it with a thousand things. I usually make puff pastry for benefit leftover vegetables, meats or cheeses that I have in the fridge. In this case I have prepared a chicken, spinach and gorgonzola puff pastry With a rest of roast chicken that I had in the fridge, I have also added spinach and mushrooms and to give it an extra point of flavor a little gorgonzola, which you can substitute with blue cheese, Roquefort or cabrales. It is delicious and it is a perfect dinner or it is used to take to meetings of family and friends.

Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 150 gr. fresh spinach
- 120 gr. of mushrooms
- 100 gr. of onion
- 150 gr. roast chicken
- 60 gr. gorgonzola cheese
- 80-100 gr. evaporated milk
- shawl
- olive oil
- I beaten egg
Preparation
Chop the onion into small pieces and the mushrooms into 4-6 pieces.
In a frying pan with a little olive oil, fry the onion and mushrooms over medium heat until we see that the onion begins to be transparent.
Add the fresh spinach, salt to taste and cook for a few minutes until reduced.
While the spinach is cooking, crumble the roast chicken and chop it up.
Add the chicken to the pan and sauté it for a couple of minutes with the vegetables.
Then add the cheese in pieces and the evaporated milk. Stir a few times and cook 3-4 minutes over low heat until the cheese has completely melted. Let it temper.
Roll out the puff pastry and prick the base where we are going to place the filling with a fork to prevent it from swelling.
Cover half of the puff pastry with the chicken, vegetables and cheese filling, leaving a space around it to be able to close it.
Paint the edge with beaten egg.
Fold the puff pastry and seal the edge with a fork.
Brush the entire surface of the puff pastry with beaten egg.
If you don't want the puff pastry to swell up too much, you can prick the top of the puff pastry with a fork.
Place in the oven preheated to 200ºC and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until we see that the puff pastry is well done.
This puff pastry can be eaten hot, warm or cold, in any of the ways it is great.
