- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 canned artichoke hearts, halved
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, spinach, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Roll out puff pastry and cut into 6 equal rectangles. Score a smaller rectangle inside each piece, about 1/4 inch from the edge.
- Spoon spinach filling into the center of each rectangle and place half an artichoke heart on top.
- Brush edges with beaten egg.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until pastry is golden and puffed.
- Let cool slightly, then sprinkle with extra Parmesan and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent soggy pastry.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
- Use fresh spinach if preferred—just sauté and drain before mixing.
- Serve with a dollop of herbed sour cream or marinara for dipping.
