Description
These Spinach Artichoke Swirls are a mouthwatering and easy-to-make appetizer that will impress your guests. The combination of creamy spinach, artichoke, and cheese wrapped in flaky puff pastry is simply irresistible.
Ingredients
– 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
– 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
– 1 cup chopped canned artichoke hearts
– 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. – In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. – Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a 12×12-inch square.
4. – Spread the spinach-artichoke mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
5. – Starting from one side, tightly roll up the puff pastry to create a long cylinder.
6. – Slice the rolled-up pastry into 1-inch thick pieces.
7. – Place the swirls, cut-side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. – Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
9. – Serve the Spinach Artichoke Swirls warm.
Notes
– For a crispier texture, brush the tops of the swirls with a beaten egg or milk before baking.
– Experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or fontina, for a variation in flavor.
– These swirls can be made ahead and frozen. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
