Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 cups chopped onions (2 onions)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (3 cloves)
2 (10-ounce) boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
1/3 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (2 scallions)
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs, plain or seasoned
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup toasted pignoli (pine) nuts
2 sheets (1 box) frozen puff pastry (such as Pepperidge Farm), defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
1 extra-large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter in a saute pan and cook the onions over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Meanwhile, squeeze most of the water out of the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the onion mixture, scallions, Gruyere, Parmesan, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and pignolis. Mix well.
  • Unfold one sheet of puff pastry and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the spinach mixture in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash. Roll out the second piece of puff pastry on a floured board until it's an inch larger in each direction. Place the second sheet of pastry over the spinach and seal the edges, crimping them with a fork. Brush the top with egg wash but don't let it drip down the sides or the pastry won't rise. Make three small slits in the pastry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board and serve hot.

Puffed Pastry Stuffed With Shrimp image

Puff pastry shells hold a mixture of practically anything, but in this recipe, I use two separate shrimp stuffings: one Indian themed and the other Greek style..

Provided by Sahtein

Categories     Greek

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (17 1/4 ounce) packages frozen puff pastry, defrosted (sheets)
30 peeled deveined uncooked shrimp, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
cooking spray
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped into fine pieces
1 garlic clove, minced (more to taste)
all season salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced (more to taste)
all season salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Slice puff pastry squares diagonally so you have two smaller triangles. Set aside. Take the cut up shrimp and place half into the bowl for the Indian stuffing and half in the bowl for the Greek stuffing. Combine all ingredients for each type of stuffing in their respective bowls and mix well with spoon or hands.
  • Lay one diagonal pasty sheet on a wooden cutting board, spoon a small amount of either stuffing in the middle of the pastry sheet and then fold the sheet into a smaller triangle, pinching the edges to seal the shell. Take a fork and press the tines down on the finger-sealed edges to secure the hold.
  • Place stuffed pastry sheets on a cooking-spray coated baking sheet, align so you can get as many triangles on it as possible.
  • Mix one egg with a few drops of water, beat well. Brush egg mixture over the top of the prepared and stuffed pastry. Place in the oven, cook until pastry is puffed and golden, about 15-20 minute Check on the pastry often. Remove from oven, let cool at least 5 min and then serve with yogurt.

SCALLOP PUFFS



Scallop Puffs image

Categories     Bake     Poach     Cocktail Party     Quick & Easy     Scallop     Gourmet

Yield Makes 32 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound sea scallops
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup freshly grated Gruyère
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 large egg white
8 slices of homemade-type white bread, toasted lightly, the crusts discarded, and each slice cut into 4 squares

Steps:

  • In a saucepan combine the scallops with enough salted water to cover them completely, bring the water to a simmer, and poach the scallops for 5 minutes. Drain the scallops well and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the Gruyére, the mustard, the lemon juice, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, add the scallops, and toss the mixture well. In a small bowl beat the egg white until it just holds stiff peaks and fold it into the scallop mixture gently but thoroughly. Top each bread square with a heaping teaspoon of the scallop mixture, arrange the puffs about 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets, and broil them under a preheated broiler about 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the toppings are bubbling and lightly golden (do not allow the edges of the toasts to burn).
