Ingredients

2 packs puff pastry cups (keep frozen)
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups torn baby spinach
8 oz marinated artichokes, chopped
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (reserve 1 tbsp for topping)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
PAM Non-GMO Avocado Oil Cooking Spray

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a sheet pan with PAM Non-GMO Avocado Oil Cooking Spray. Arrange the puff pastry cups on the pan, spray the tops lightly, and bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently remove the tops of the puff pastry cups.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, chopped artichokes, Swiss cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then microwave the mixture for 2 minutes to soften. Stir again to blend ingredients smoothly.
Step 3: Spoon the spinach and artichoke filling into each puff pastry cup. Sprinkle with the reserved tablespoon of Parmesan cheese on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of nutmeg to the filling.
Substitute Swiss cheese with mozzarella or fontina for a different cheesy twist.
Make ahead by preparing the filling in advance; assemble just before baking to keep the pastry crisp.

Storage

Store any leftover puff pastry cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use fresh artichokes instead of marinated ones?

Yes, but fresh artichokes require cooking and trimming before use. Marinated artichokes are convenient and add extra flavor, making them ideal for this recipe.

Can I prepare these cups ahead of time?

You can prepare the filling a day ahead and keep it refrigerated. Assemble and bake the puff pastry cups just before serving to maintain their crisp texture.
