I doubled the recipe, as I only had regular sized muffin tins. It made twelve generous pastries, three per person as a side. This is adapted from AllRecipes.
Ingredients:
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 (6 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray cups of a 24-cup mini muffin pan (or 2 12-cup mini muffin pans) with nonstick cooking spray.
Roll out the thawed but cold puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle using a rolling pin. Cut into 24 (approximately 2 1/2-inch) squares using a pizza cutter. Lightly press puff pastry squares into each cup of the prepared mini muffin pan and prick with the tines of a fork.
Mix the mayonnaise, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach, garlic, and pepper together in a bowl; spoon feta-spinach mixture evenly into the cups, being careful not to overflow the cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and the corners are golden brown, 15 to 16 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.
I always enjoy appetizers like these. Normally I use a chunk of cream cheese instead of mayo.
Maybe there’s a reason my LDL is up…
Real mayonnaise has a lot of egg yolk in it. You might be better off with the cream cheese.
I’m a big fan of these kinds of thing to. I recently came across a recipe from 1950 (which I’ll post; it’s a celeb spon-con) where for some reason you don’t make the product in a muffin tin but in six custard cups. Those are like ramekins. There’s absolutely no reason to and the company hired the celeb to promote the food, not the baking means, so I don’t know where that came from.
i think these will be getting made sometime between christmas and new years eve..so thanks!
Yum.
I love finger foods. These would be nice for New Year’s Eve.
