In a shallow dish, crack the egg for the rice paper soak. Add the water and soy sauce, then whisk thoroughly until well combined. This will be your dipping liquid for the rice paper.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, thawed and squeezed dry spinach, the remaining egg, paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients well until evenly incorporated and the filling is uniform.

Working with one rice paper sheet at a time, dip it into the egg, soy sauce, and water mixture. Ensure it is fully moistened and softened, about 15-20 seconds. Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean, damp surface (a cutting board or large plate works well).

Place about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese filling onto one corner of the softened rice paper. Carefully fold the rice paper into a triangular shape, similar to a samosa or spanakopita, sealing the filling inside. Start by folding one corner over the filling, then fold the bottom edge up, and continue folding diagonally until you form a neat triangle. Place the assembled triangle seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Repeat the soaking and folding process with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling. Once all triangles are assembled and arranged on the baking sheet, sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top of each triangle.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the triangles are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. The rice paper will become delightfully crunchy.
