Kale
Puffs
“These even
reheated pretty nicely in the oven when hubby and I had a few with our dinner a
few days later.” Kenda and Kimberly
Ingredients:
1 bunch of
fresh kale (about 4-5 cups chopped or torn into pieces)
1 small white
or sweet onion, small diced
3/4 cup
small-cubed fresh part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup
grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 teaspoon
chopped herbs, such as thyme, dill or rosemary
3-4 garlic
cloves, minced
Kosher salt
and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs
2 sheets
frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
Instructions:
Remove the
thicker, tougher pieces of stem from each kale leaf and tear or chop the leaves
into pieces.
Cook in a
large pan over medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally until
the
leaves have begun to wilt and are tender.
Allow to
cool, off the heat, for about ten minutes.
In a large
bowl, combine the kale, onion, cheeses, olive oil, fresh minced herbs and a
little
salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Cut puff
pastry into 3 equal strips.
Cut each of
those into 3 squares for a total of 9. Repeat with second sheet of pastry.
Lightly spray
the bottoms and sides of your muffin pan wells with nonstick cooking spray.
Place a
square in each muffin cup, pressing into bottom and up sides and leaving
corners
pointing up.
Divide
filling among cups. Bring the corners of the pastry together, pinching them
together
over the filling.
If making
these early the same day, you can cover the muffin pans and refrigerate till
ready
to bake.
Preheat oven
to 400°.
Beat
remaining egg in a small bowl and brush over the pastries.
Bake until
the puffs are golden brown and have puffed up, about 25 minutes.
Transfer to a
wire rack; let puffs cool in pan for 10 minutes.
Use a sharp
knife to loosen the puffs from the edges and turn onto to rack to finish
cooling.
Notes:
These are
best the first time they’re baked, but they will reheat fairly well in the oven
at 350
degrees for about 10 minutes.
