Ingredients

• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
• nonstick cooking spray
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (6 ounce) container crumbled feta cheese
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray cups of a 24-cup mini muffin pan (or 2 12-cup mini muffin pans) with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Roll out the thawed but cold puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle using a rolling pin. Cut into 24 (approximately 2 1/2-inch) squares using a pizza cutter. Lightly press puff pastry squares into each cup of the prepared mini muffin pan and prick with the tines of a fork.

Step 3

Mix the mayonnaise, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach, garlic, and pepper together in a bowl.

Step 4

Spoon feta-spinach mixture evenly into the cups, being careful not to overflow the cups.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and the corners are golden brown, 15 to 16 minutes.

Step 6

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving dish.
