To make these Spinach and Artichoke Puffs, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup of frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/4 cup of canned artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1/4 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Next, roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut it into 4 equal squares. Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture onto the center of each square, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Once done, remove the Spinach and Artichoke Puffs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These puffs are best served warm and can be garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious and impressive appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. These Spinach and Artichoke Puffs are a crowd-pleaser and will leave your guests wanting more.
