Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out your puff pastry on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, artichokes, garlic, Parmesan, mozzarella, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix evenly.
  3. Spoon the mixture onto one-half of the rolled-out puff pastry, leaving a little edge for sealing. Fold the other half over and press down to seal, crimping the edges with a fork if desired.
Baking
  1. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a golden-brown shine.
  2. Place the pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
  3. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

If short on time, use store-bought artichoke dips instead of mixing your own filling. You can also add some spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
