Mini Spinach Dip Bites
Mini Spinach Dip Bites
Equipment
- 1 Mini Muffin Tin
- 1 Baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 pkg Puff pastry, each package has 2 sheets For gluten free you can use Sweet Loren's brand
- 3 Cloves garlic, minced
- 3 oz Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 medium, yellow onion, diced
- 1 14oz Can artichoke hearts, quartered and drained and then chopped
- 1 5.4 fl oz Can coconut cream *If you're not dairy free you can use regular heavy cream
- 1/2 C Mayo of your choice I used Primal kitchen avocado oil mayo it has eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 C Nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, minced
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Pinch Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 400F. Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator so it comes up to room temperature. If it was previously frozen have it defrost in the refrigerator overnight and then remove 30 minutes before you want to make this appetizer
- In a large mixing bowl combine the spinach, artichokes, garlic, onion, coconut cream, mayo, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, basil, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined
- Roll out your puff pastry. Fit the pastry over a mini muffin tray.
- Fill each muffin cup with the spinach dip mixture close to the top but not overflowing. They're going to shrink down a little bit so put a tiny bit more than you think you need
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough so each muffin cup has one square of dough surrounding it (if this is confusing watch the video). Optional you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes on top for extra color
- You can either leave the 4 corners of the dough flat to crisp up or fold them over the spinach dip to make a pocket and pinch them in the center
- Brush the outside of the dough with olive oil so it gets nice and golden brown
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown (if they're browning at 22 minutes it's ok to give them a few more minutes and check again)
- Let the cups rest for 10-15 minutes before serving because they will be very hot!
Notes
The mini muffin pan I used had 24 wells. It required 1 1/4 puff pastry sheets to cover one muffin pan. The servings size is 2 mini bites. So if you make 1 tray you will have 12 servings.(highly recommend making more than anticipated people love these!)
1 tray = 24 bites, 12 servings
2 trays = 48 bites, 24 servings *There’s enough filling for 2 trays however you may need extra puff pastry depending on the brand you used.
3 trays = 72 bites, 36 Servings *Double the filling and triple the puff pastry so 6 sheets instead of 2
