Time 50m

Yield 48 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 10.8-ounce bag frozen broccoli florets, such as Birds Eye® Steamfresh® Broccoli Florets
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (about 6 ounces)
1 cup crumbled feta (about 6 ounces)
1 cup part-skim ricotta
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
3 sheets frozen puff pastry (from one-and-a-half 17.3-ounce packages), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting, optional
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cook the broccoli according to the package directions. Transfer to a colander to drain until cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and add the mozzarella, feta, ricotta, dill, chives, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir together with a large spoon, using the back of it to crush any large broccoli florets. Set aside.
  • Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Roll out a sheet of the puff pastry on a clean work surface into a 12-inch square, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut the puff pastry into sixteen 3-inch squares with a pizza wheel or knife. Place 1 tablespoon of the broccoli mixture in the center of each square. Working with a square at a time, pinch together 2 opposite corners, then pinch together the remaining 2 corners to create a small packet. Transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and filling. Brush the packets with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  • Working in batches if needed, bake the packets until golden and bubbly, 20 to 22 minutes.
