Spinach Artichoke Bites

Course Appetizer
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 6 sheets phyllo dough, (may need more depending on size of sheets or to account for breakage) this is just a fraction of what is sold in a typical 16 oz frozen package
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 12- oz bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 12- oz jar quartered artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano or Asiago cheese
  • garlic salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper or roasted red pepper, to garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Thaw the phyllo dough according to the package directions. Lay out one sheet of phyllo and using a pastry brush, lightly brush with melted butter. Lay another sheet on top of this one and brush with butter. Repeat in order to build a stack of three sheets. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 12 equal squares. The brand I buy, Athens, comes in 9×12 sheets, so it makes it very easy to cut into 3×3 squares. Nestle each square into the wells of a nonstick mini muffin pan. Repeat with 3 remaining sheets to fill all 24 wells. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden brown. Cool briefly and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
