Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 (14 ounces / 400 grams) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 (10 ounces / 280 grams) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375°F (190°C) and establishing a non-stick surface with parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Create a harmonious mixture by combining artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, Parmesan, mozzarella, cream cheese, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl, ensuring thorough integration of all components.
- Transform the puff pastry into a workable canvas by gently rolling it out on a lightly dusted flour surface, then meticulously dividing it into precise 12 equal geometric squares.
- Strategically position a generous tablespoon of the prepared filling at the center of each pastry square, then elegantly fold the corners towards the middle, carefully sealing the edges to prevent leakage during baking.
- Arrange the assembled bites on the prepared baking sheet with intentional spacing, then delicately brush the exterior with olive oil to enhance color and crispness.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven, allowing the bites to transform for 18-20 minutes until they develop a rich golden-brown exterior and achieve a crisp, flaky texture.
- Remove from the oven and allow a brief moment of cooling before presenting these delectable morsels, ready to be savored while maintaining their optimal temperature and crunch.
Notes
- Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to prevent soggy pastry, using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Choose full-fat cream cheese and cheeses for richer, more indulgent flavor that enhances the overall taste of the bites.
- Keep puff pastry chilled until ready to use, ensuring it remains cold and maintains its flaky texture during preparation.
- Customize filling by adding red pepper flakes for heat, chopped sun-dried tomatoes for tang, or crispy bacon bits for extra crunch.
