Servings: 12 puffs

Ingredients 

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 1 14 ounce can cooked artichoke hearts strained and rinsed
  • ½ cup frozen spinach rinsed and strained before measuring
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼- ½ teaspoon salt start with ¼ and add more if needed as some canned artichokes contain a lot of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  • Before starting, defrost the frozen puff pastry according to the package instructions. For the Pepperidge Farm brand that I used, this takes about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
  • About ten minutes before the puff pastry is done defrosting, preheat the oven to 400F and lightly grease a muffin tin. Set aside for later.

Make the filling:

  • While the puff pastry is defrosting, make the filling.
  • Start by rinsing and straining the canned artichokes. Then, finely chop them and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Next, rinse the frozen spinach under warm water until completely thawed and squeeze to remove any excess water. Add the spinach to the mixing bowl with the artichoke.
  • In the same mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, nutritonal yeast, minced garlic, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix together until you have a smooth filling with no chunks of cream cheese remaining.

Cut the puff pastry & add filling

  • Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll out the thawed puff pastry on a sheet of parchment paper. Then, cut it into 12 evenly sized squares.
  • Press each puff pastry square into the muffin tin. Then, fill each puff pastry square with a scoop of filling (about 1 ½ Tablespoons in each square).
  • Add the muffin tin to the oven and bake at 400F for 25 -28 minutes until the pastry is puffed and brown and the filling looks cooked.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Then, serve and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Please see the blog post for substitution ideas and recipe tips.
  • You can prepare the filling the day before and store it in a closed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Once you bake these puff pastries, they truly are best enjoyed right away, as that is when they are most crisp. However, they can also be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 days.
  • It is best to reheat in the oven or a toaster oven to retain their crispy texture.
