Salmon Puffs
Combine lots of smaller necessities in a lovely basket.
Recipe Summary Salmon Puffs
Delightful salmon and feta cheese filling wrapped in puff pastry. I have substituted spinach and cooked tiny shrimp for salmon in this recipe too.Ingredients | Appetizer Ideas For Baby Shower
8 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
12 ounces crumbled feta cheese
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon minced garlic
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg white, beaten
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine smoked salmon, feta cheese, black pepper and garlic.
Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface to form a 12x12 inch sheet. Cut sheet into 16 3x3-inch squares. Place a spoonful of salmon filling in the center of each square. Pull together corners of each square to form 16 small packets. Brush packets with egg whites and place on prepared baking sheets. (The puffs can be frozen at this point. See Editor's Note.)
Bake in preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
This recipe can be made ahead and frozen. Bake, still frozen, in a 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until pastry is golden and filling is hot.
