Spinach Artichoke Bites Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: buttermilk

Plain yogurt provides similar tanginess with fewer calories.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Cheddar is often less expensive than mozzarella.

Preheat the oven to 400 F and measure out your ingredients.

Spray the cupcake pan with nonstick spray.

Let your puff pastry thaw enough to where you can bend it without breaking, then cut each sheet into 9 even squares.

Press each square into one cup of the cupcake pan. You will have extra pieces of puff pastry — this recipe will make 12 servings.

Whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash, and use it to brush the outer edges of each square of puff pastry. Set the cupcake pan in the freezer while you make the filling.

Chop up the marinated artichoke into small pieces and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the Neufchâtel cheese, drained spinach, and sour cream.

Once combined, add in the chopped artichokes and salt and pepper, to taste.

Bring the prepared puff pastry out of the freezer and scoop the spinach mixture into the pastry cups, dividing it equally between all 12.

Sprinkle each pastry cup with parmesan cheese, then bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges of the pastry and the parmesan cheese turn a nice golden brown color.

Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. These snacks are best enjoyed warm.
