Ingredients
Pastry and Filling
- 1 sheet sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
- 1 can artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese for that extra creaminess
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like dill or parsley, chopped) pick what you love!
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 egg for egg wash for a shiny finish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
Filling
- In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, chopped artichokes, cream cheese, olive oil, herbs, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Assembly
- Spread the filling mixture over half of the puff pastry, leaving a bit of border around the edges.
- Fold the other half over and pinch to seal the edges.
- Beat the egg and brush it over the top of the pastry.
Baking
- Place your pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
If short on time, frozen artichokes can be used. Feel free to swap mozzarella for other cheeses. Don't worry if filling spills out; it adds to the charm!
