Artichoke Feta Appetizer Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the artichoke hearts, feta, mayonnaise, Parmesan, pimientos and garlic until thoroughly combined. Transfer the mixture to a small casserole or glass pie plate and bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. To serve, place the dish on a larger platter and surround with pita chips.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Blend cream and 2 ounces feta in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
• If using 14-ounce package of puff pastry, cut in half and roll out each half on a lightly floured surface into a 16x10" rectangle. (If using 17.3-ounce package, use 1 sheet of pastry for each tart.) Transfer each piece of pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a paring knife, lightly score pastry (do not cut all the way through), leaving a 1" border.
• Spread feta mixture over pastry, dividing evenly and staying within border. Arrange artichoke hearts over feta mixture and crumble remaining 2 ounces feta over; drizzle with oil. Brush pastry border with egg.
• Bake tart until pastry is puffed and beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 minutes longer. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Do Ahead
• Tart can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Variations:
• The feta and puff pastry in this tart pair well with any number of toppings. In place of the artichokes, try:
• Red Pepper + Olive: Scatter feta cream with jarred roasted red peppers, black olives, and chopped fresh rosemary, then bake. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Asparagus + Egg: Top cheese with asparagus that's been halved lengthwise. Once out of the oven, slide on a few fried eggs.
• Smoked Salmon + Scallion: Bake tart with feta only. When slightly cooled, add smoked salmon and sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Mix all ingredients together.
• Place mixture in a pie pan.
• Bake 20- 25 minutes or until slightly browned.
• If you like top with tomatoes and green onions.
• Serve with pita bread, bagel toast, crackers or even tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place feta in middle of a 9-inch pie dish. Pour oil over cheese; sprinkle remaining ingredients on and around it. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake until heated through, about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with crackers or crostini.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Combine ingredients.
• Spoon into 9-inch pie plate.
