Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup marinated quartered artichoke hearts, drained
  • 2 tablespoons pitted Greek olives
  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 carton (6-1/2 ounces) spreadable spinach and artichoke cream cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • Refrigerated tzatziki sauce, optional

Directions

  1. Place artichokes and olives in a food processor; cover and pulse until finely chopped. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface; spread half of the cream cheese over half of pastry. Top with half of the artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese. Fold plain half over filling; press gently to seal.
  2. Repeat with remaining pastry, cream cheese, artichoke mixture and Parmesan cheese. Whisk egg and water; brush over tops. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut each rectangle into sixteen 3/4-in.-wide strips. Twist strips several times; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
  3. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, with tzatziki sauce if desired.
