Feta Artichoke Bites 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:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Thaw frozen spinach in microwave according to package directions or by running under warm water. Drain spinach, squeezing the excess liquid from it. In a bowl, mix the spinach, feta, garlic, pepper, and nutmeg together.
• Flour a clean, dry countertop or other flat working surface. Lay out the puff pasty on the floured surface. Flour the top of the dough. Roll out the puff pastry until it is half as thick (about 1/8-inch) and about 24 by 12 inches. Trim edges to size if necessary. Cut into 3-inch strips crosswise and lengthwise, making 32 (3-inch) squares. Make sure the squares are well floured then stack them in a little pile.
• Fill a little dish with some room temperature water. Imagine each square you work with is separated in half by a diagonal. Place a couple teaspoons of filling in the top half. Dip a finger into the water and moisten the edges of the top half with water. Fold the bottom half to meet the edges of the top half. Use a fork to seal the edges.
• Place finished pockets on a nonstick baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Pulse together the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add about a third of the chilled butter cubes and process until the butter is absorbed. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Pulse in the vinegar. Then add the ice water, pulsing quickly a few times to combine. Squeeze some dough between your fingers--it should just hold its shape without feeling wet. If it is crumbly, add more ice water a tablespoon at a time. (Pulse quickly, do not overwork or the dough will be tough.0 Wrap the dough loosely in a large piece of plastic wrap, then firmly press and flatten the dough into a thin round. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough into an 11- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Center the dough in a 9-inch pie plate, with an even overhang all around. Fold the edges and flute or crimp. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.
• Sprinkle the shallots evenly into the crust. Combine the artichoke hearts with the feta and sprinkle it in an even layer over the shallots.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, parsley, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; set aside., Shape dough into twenty-four 1-in. balls. With floured fingers, press onto the bottoms and 1/2 in. up the sides of greased muffin cups., Fill cups with tablespoonfuls of artichoke mixture; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake until golden brown, 18-22 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove crust from bread and tear into 1/2-inch pieces (you should have 4 cups). Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; dry in oven, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Stand artichokes in a saucepan just large enough to hold them. Add water until 3/4 inch up sides of pan; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and steam until artichokes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (Add more water as needed.) Transfer to a plate; let cool, then slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out fuzzy chokes with a spoon; discard.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine bread, oil, cheese, dill, and broth. Season mixture and insides of artichokes with salt and pepper. Divide stuffing among artichokes, mounding tops; drizzle with oil. Place in an oiled baking dish; bake until heated through and tops are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Drizzle with more oil, top with dill sprigs, and serve.
