    Source of Recipe


    Pepperidge Farm


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 pkg. (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (2 sheets)
    • 1 pkg. (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
    • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
    • 1/2 cup diced roasted sweet red peppers
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley


    Instructions


    1. THAW the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they’re easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with vegetable cooking spray.
    2. STIR the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese until the ingredients are mixed. Stir in the artichokes, red pepper and parsley. Season to taste.
    3. UNFOLD 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the sheet into a 12-inch square. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the edges of the pastry with water. Fold over the edges 1/2 inch on all sides, pressing firmly with a fork to form a rim. Prick the pastry thoroughly with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
    4. DIVIDE the cheese mixture between the pastry crusts and spread to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Sprinkle each with the remaining cheese.
    5. BAKE for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm.
