Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Canned artichoke hearts (drained and finely chopped)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 unit Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions and lightly flour your work surface.
Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to ensure it’s smooth and even, then cut into 3-inch squares. You should get about 12 squares per sheet.
Place each puff pastry square into the wells of a standard mini muffin tin, pressing gently to create a small tart base.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the artichoke mixture into each puff pastry tart shell.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to enhance browning.
Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the tarts to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these Cheesy Artichoke Mini Tarts as a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
