Baked Feta Puff Pastry Bites
These baked feta bites are everything I want in a party snack: crisp, salty, just sweet enough, and wildly low-effort. Wrapped in golden puff pastry and filled with creamy feta, they’re the kind of Feta Puff Pastry Bites that disappear faster than you can refill the serving plate. They look inviting, taste indulgent, and rely on simple ingredients you can grab from the grocery store on the way home — which, frankly, is the sweet spot.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 320 g ready-rolled puff pastry
- 200 g feta
- 12 teaspoon caramelised onion chutney cranberry sauce or hot honey, or a bit of everything
- a sprinkle of sesame seeds, chopped pistachios, caraway or fennel seeds (see notes*)
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the puff pastry from the fridge 15–20 minutes before using to prevent cracking. Unroll it on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the pastry in half lengthways, then cut each half into 12 equal rectangles, giving you 24 pieces in total. Set 12 rectangles aside for the tops.
- Pat the feta dry thoroughly with paper towels. Slice it lengthways into two thinner slabs, then cut each slab into 6 pieces to make 12 flat pieces.
- Place the 12 base pastry rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add a piece of feta to the centre of each rectangle.
- Top each with 1 level teaspoon of red onion chutney, cranberry sauce, or hot honey.
- Place the remaining pastry rectangles on top. Press around the edges to seal, using a fork if you like for a neat finish.
- Brush the tops with lightly beaten egg and sprinkle with your chosen topping (see notes below).
- Bake for 20 minutes, until puffed and deeply golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
