Beet & Feta Puff Pastry Bites
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
-
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
Make the beet filling. In a bowl, mix the cooked beets, feta cheese, cream cheese, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, thyme or za’atar, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is nicely combined.
-
3
Prepare the puff pastry. Roll out the puff pastry slightly, then cut it into small squares.
-
4
Fill each bite. Place a small spoonful of the beet mixture in the center of each pastry square.
-
5
Fold and seal. Fold the pastry into triangles or pinch the corners toward the center. Press the edges gently so the filling stays inside.
-
6
Brush and top. Brush each pastry bite with beaten egg, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
-
7
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
-
8
Serve warm. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delicious on their own or with a little yogurt dip on the side.

Home Cook Tip
Use roasted beets if you want a deeper, sweeter flavor. For a faster version, ready-to-eat cooked beets work beautifully too.
