Delicious Puff Pastry Recipe with Artichokes and Cheese!

[Jillmami]

A customer was raving about an older recipe that calls for:
puff pastry
artichokes
red onion (?)
cheese of some type?

I know, very vague. She was raving about it. Any thoughts/ideas??

Thanks!!

They had the Elegant Artichoke Cups as one of my recipes in the starter kit (I think that's where it came from?). It has wonton wrappers instead of puff pastry though, so I don't know if that's what you are looking for.

One possible recipe that comes to mind is a puff pastry tart with artichokes, red onions, and goat cheese. Here's a rough outline of how to make it:Ingredients:- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed- 1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced- 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled- 1 egg, beaten- Salt and pepper to taste- Optional: chopped fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley for garnishInstructions:1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.3. Transfer the pastry sheet to the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a border about 1 inch from the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.4. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped artichokes, red onions, and crumbled goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.5. Spread the artichoke mixture evenly within the scored border on the puff pastry.6. Brush the beaten egg over the edges of the pastry border.7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.8. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh herbs before serving.This tart can be served as an appetizer or a light lunch or dinner. It's a delicious combination of flavors and textures, and the puff pastry adds a nice crunch. Enjoy!

Hi Jill,As a Pampered Chef consultant, I'm always happy to help with recipe ideas! The combination of puff pastry, artichokes, red onion, and cheese sounds absolutely delicious. Here are a few ideas for how you could use these ingredients:1. Artichoke and Red Onion Tart: Roll out the puff pastry and top it with sautéed red onions and chopped artichoke hearts. Sprinkle with your choice of cheese (I recommend a mix of shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta) and bake until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.2. Cheesy Artichoke Dip: Mix together chopped artichoke hearts, diced red onion, and your choice of cheese (I like a mix of cream cheese, shredded parmesan, and shredded cheddar) and bake until hot and bubbly. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.3. Artichoke and Red Onion Flatbread: Roll out the puff pastry and top it with a layer of artichoke hearts, sliced red onions, and your choice of cheese (I recommend crumbled goat cheese or shredded fontina). Bake until the pastry is crispy and the cheese is melted, then top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley.I hope these ideas give you some inspiration for using those delicious ingredients! Happy cooking!Best,

Hi Jill,

Thank you for reaching out about the recipe your customer was raving about. It sounds like it could be a delicious combination of flavors! With the ingredients listed, I would suggest trying a recipe for puff pastry tart with artichokes, red onions, and feta cheese. The flaky puff pastry would provide a great base for the savory artichokes, tangy red onions, and creamy feta cheese. You could also experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or Parmesan, to see which one your customer prefers. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions or if you try out the recipe. Happy cooking!

Best,
