Tools You’ll Need

• Medium mixing bowl

Step-by-Step: How to Make Crispy Spinach Artichoke Dip Bites

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, divide it into 12 equal squares.
4. Fill the Pastry Squares: Spoon a generous amount of the spinach artichoke mixture into the center of each square.
5. Seal the Bites: Gently fold the corners of each pastry square over the filling, pinching the edges to seal. You should have small, pillow-like pockets.
6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy finish. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
7. Serve Warm: These are best enjoyed straight out of the oven, though they’re still delicious at room temperature!

Creative Variations and Substitutions

• Add Heat: Mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the filling for a spicy kick.
• Herbaceous Boost: Add fresh chopped parsley or dill for extra flavor.
• Cheese Swap: Try Gouda or cheddar instead of mozzarella for a slightly different cheesy profile.
• Make It Mini: Cut the puff pastry into smaller squares for bite-sized versions perfect for large parties.

What to Serve with Spinach Artichoke Dip Bites

While these bites are fantastic on their own, you can pair them with:

• A light, zesty salad for balance.
• Marinara or garlic aioli for dipping.
• A charcuterie board for an elegant spread.

Pro Tips for the Best Spinach Artichoke Bites

• Thoroughly Dry the Spinach: Too much moisture can make the filling soggy. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Seal the Edges Well: Make sure to pinch the corners tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
• Don’t Overfill: A heaping tablespoon of filling is plenty for each square.

How to Store and Reheat

• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: To maintain crispiness, reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Sauté fresh spinach until wilted, then chop and squeeze out excess liquid.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the bites and refrigerate them (covered) for up to 1 day before baking.

Can I freeze them?
Yes, freeze the unbaked bites on a tray until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.
