Crab Spinach and Artichoke Bites
If you’d like an elegant but easy appetizer recipe, you will absolutely LOVE Crab Spinach and Artichoke Bites!
Puff pastry is always a crowd pleaser, and it’s so simple to work with.
For the filling of the puff pastry bites I am using store bought spinach and artichoke dip to make my life a little easier.
No one will even know it’s store bought, I mean unless you tell them đŸ˜‰
You could also use some leftover homemade dip if you prefer.
How to Make Crab Spinach and Artichoke Dip
First, put 8 ounces of the spinach and artichoke dip in a bowl along with 8 ounces of fresh crab meat.
Then add a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, which pairs perfectly with seafood.
Mix this together until evenly combined and set this aside for the filling.
Two sheets of puff pastry come in a package, but we will only be using one for this dish.
You’ll want to set it out of the freezer about 20 minutes before working with it to thaw slightly.
Unfold it and place on a floured surface.
Roll it with a rolling pin into kind of like a rectangle shape and slightly thinner than before you rolled it.
Then use a pizza cutter to cut 12 individual squares.
It’s perfectly fine if they aren’t exact in size, they will still work just fine.
Spray a muffin tin with non stick spray and put the puff pastry pieces in the each space.
Press them down slightly and bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
They will puff up, so use a spoon or a shot glass to press them down to make room for the filling.
Fill each puff pastry bite with the crab spinach and artichoke dip.
And place back in the 400 degree oven for 7 to 9 minutes.
How gorgeous are these Crab Spinach and Artichoke Bites?!
Pretty darn stunning in my opinion đŸ™‚
These are best enjoyed with a fork, even though I called them “bites”.
So yummy… light and flaky puff pastry with the fresh crab and cheesy dip for a winning appetizer!
