00:00Cranberry and Whipped Feta Puffs
00:02Picture this, a buttery, flaky pastry that shatters at the first bite,
00:07revealing a creamy cloud of tangy whipped feta studded with jewel-bright cranberries and fresh green onions.
00:14For the puff pastry, use one box of puff pastry dough thawed according to the package directions.
00:20For the whipped feta filling, combine 8 ounces of room-temperature whipped cream cheese,
00:251 cup of crumbled feta, 1 cup of dried cranberries, and 2 thirds cup of finely chopped green onions.
00:32Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
00:35Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with parchment.
00:39Let the puff pastry thaw until pliable but still cold.
00:44Lay the pastry on a floured surface and cut each sheet into 9 clean squares to ensure proper puffing.
00:50Blend the cream cheese and feta in a food processor until smooth, scraping the sides for an even texture.
00:57Fold in cranberries, green onions, and seasonings, adjusting to taste.
01:01Spoon the filling diagonally across each square and pinch two opposite corners firmly to seal.
01:07Bake the puffs until golden and puffed, then cool briefly and serve warm.
01:11Each puff has roughly 160 to 180 calories with moderate fat, carbs, and protein, making it filling with a salad.
01:20Feta adds calcium and lean protein, cranberries provide antioxidants and fiber, and green onions supply vitamins.
01:27It's vegetarian but contains gluten and dairy.
01:30Assemble puffs up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate.
01:33Freeze baked puffs for a month and then reheat in the oven.
01:36Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
01:39Easily double the recipe, baking in separate batches for even results.
01:43For crowds, make mini puffs with 1 tablespoon of filling and a shorter bake time.
01:47These cranberry feta pastries prove that simple techniques and quality ingredients create reliably impressive results.
