Spinach and Feta Cups

Another finger food I made for the year-end celebration at Lilly's school. They are super easy and adorable! Made with puff pastry sheets from any freezer section.

  • 1 puff pastry sheet
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 small onion, chopped
  • 1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (plain or flavored)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Thaw the puff pastry for 20 mins at room temp. Heat oven to 400.

Place the pastry on a floured surface and slice into squares about 2x2 inches with a pizza cutter. Should make 36 squares.

In a saucepan, saute the garlic and onion in the olive oil til translucent. Add spinach and cook for 3 mins. Set aside.

Press the squares into a mini muffin pan and bake for 10 minutes or til golden.
Remove from oven, and place a teaspoon or so of the spinach mixture in each cup. Top with crumbled feta. Place back in oven for 5 more minutes, or until filling is hot.

Can be served warm or at room temp. These were a hit!
