I was in charge of making the appetizers for our neighborhood Progressive Christmas Dinner. One of the appetizers that I made were these spinach and artichoke appetizers made with puff pastry dough. These little bites are so delicious and great served warm or room temperature. I like to make this appetizer ahead of time, freeze the uncooked roll, then thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing and baking. The original recipe came from Southern Living magazine. It’s a winner.
Spinach and Artichokes in Puff Pastry
Ingredients
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped(I use 1/2 marinated artichokes and 1/2 reg-it gives them more flavor)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use light safflower mayo)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry
Preparation
Drain spinach well, pressing between layers of paper towels.
Stir together spinach, artichoke hearts, and next 5 ingredients.
Thaw puff pastry at room temperature 30 minutes. Unfold pastry, and place on a lightly floured surface or heavy-duty plastic wrap. Spread one-fourth spinach mixture evenly over pastry sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Roll up pastry, jellyroll fashion, pressing to seal seam; wrap in heavy-duty plastic wrap. Repeat procedure with remaining pastry and spinach mixture. Freeze 30 minutes; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. (Rolls may be frozen up to 3 months.)
Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain thawed spinach making sure that all liquid is squeezed out. I used a spoon and a fine strainer. You can also use cheesecloth and wring out all liquid.
Roll up in a jelly roll fashion. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze in a ziploc bag until ready to use.
