SPINACH CHEESE PUFFS



SPINACH CHEESE PUFFS image

Categories     Cheese     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
2 packed cups chopped fresh spinach
3/4 cup crumbled feta
3 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed and cut into 9 squares (cut them on a floured board with a paring knife)
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 9 round or square cups in a muffin pan. Briefly microwave the cream cheese - about 20 seconds or longer if needed until it's soft and melted but not steaming hot. Mix the egg, oil and dill into it until well combined - the cream cheese may not be smooth and that's ok. In a separate bowl add the spinach, feta and bacon. Pour the cream cheese mixture over top, season it with salt and pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper) then use a fork to combine it together. Line the muffin pan with the pastry squares, stretching them out a little if needed, press them into the bottom of the cups. Divide the spinach among the cups as evenly as possible. Bring the 4 points together over the filling and press them together. Lightly brush with the melted butter. Bake about 25 minute until golden brown and puffy. Allow to cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes then run a knife around the edges to loosen them and help pop them out.

Spinach Bacon Cheese Puffs Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
2 packed cups chopped fresh spinach
3/4 cup crumbled feta
3 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
Coarse salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 (8.7-ounce) sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into 9 squares
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 9 round or square cups in a muffin pan. Briefly microwave the cream cheese, about 20 seconds or longer if needed, until it's soft and melted, but not steaming hot. Mix the egg, oil, and dill into the melted cream cheese until well combined. The cream cheese may not be completely smooth, some lumps are okay. In a separate bowl add the spinach, feta, and bacon. Pour the cream cheese mixture over top, season it with salt and pepper, then use a fork to combine it together. Line the muffin pan with the pastry squares, stretching them out a little if needed, press them into the bottom of the cups. Divide the spinach among the cups as evenly as possible. Bring the 4 points together over the filling and press them together. Lightly brush with the melted butter. Bake about 25 minute until golden brown and puffy. Allow to cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes then run a knife around the edges to loosen them and help pop them out.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
  • Squeeze the spinach dry before adding it to the batter to prevent the puffs from becoming soggy.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour for a light and fluffy batter.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the puffs tough.
  • Fill each muffin cup only about 2/3 full to allow the puffs to rise.
  • Bake the puffs at a high temperature for a few minutes, then reduce the heat to finish baking. This will help the puffs to rise and brown evenly.
  • Serve the puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Spinach cheese puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a cheesy spinach filling that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are serving them at a party or just enjoying them as a snack, these puffs are sure to be a hit.
