Ingredients

  • 1 (17.65-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets (2 sheets), thawed

  • 1 ½ cups chopped roasted red peppers

  • 1 ½ cups crumbled feta cheese

  • All-purpose flour, for work surface

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

  2. Unfold 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface; gently roll into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 (3-inch) squares. Gently press 1 pastry square into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup, letting the corners overhang. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Divide roasted red peppers and feta evenly among the pastry cups, about 1 tablespoon of each.

  3. Gently stretch the 4 points of each puff pastry square together toward the center so that they cover the filling, then lightly press them together in the middle.

  4. Bake until puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife carefully around the edges to gently loosen each pastry. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
