Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh spinach and tomatoes. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using it.
  • If you don't have pesto on hand, you can make your own by blending together basil, olive oil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.
  • Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You can add other vegetables, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or bell peppers. You can also add crumbled feta cheese or mozzarella cheese.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pockets. They should be cooked until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through, but not so long that the pastry becomes dry or the filling becomes mushy.

Conclusion:

Spinach tomato pesto pockets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give spinach tomato pesto pockets a try!
