Line the muffin pan with the pastry squares, stretching them out a little if needed, press them into the bottom of the cups. Divide the spinach among the cups as evenly as possible. Bring the 4 points together over the filling and press them together. Lightly brush with the melted butter. Bake about 25 minute until golden brown and puffy.
