Time 50m

Yield 48 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 10.8-ounce bag frozen broccoli florets, such as Birds Eye® Steamfresh® Broccoli Florets
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella (about 6 ounces)
1 cup crumbled feta (about 6 ounces)
1 cup part-skim ricotta
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
3 sheets frozen puff pastry (from one-and-a-half 17.3-ounce packages), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting, optional
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cook the broccoli according to the package directions. Transfer to a colander to drain until cool, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and add the mozzarella, feta, ricotta, dill, chives, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir together with a large spoon, using the back of it to crush any large broccoli florets. Set aside.
  • Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Roll out a sheet of the puff pastry on a clean work surface into a 12-inch square, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut the puff pastry into sixteen 3-inch squares with a pizza wheel or knife. Place 1 tablespoon of the broccoli mixture in the center of each square. Working with a square at a time, pinch together 2 opposite corners, then pinch together the remaining 2 corners to create a small packet. Transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and filling. Brush the packets with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  • Working in batches if needed, bake the packets until golden and bubbly, 20 to 22 minutes.

TRIPLE-CHEESE BROCCOLI PUFF

This rich-tasting souffle is always on our Christmas morning menu. Like any puffy souffle, it will settle a bit after you remove the dish from the oven, but the pretty golden top is very attractive. I often add some cubed ham. -Maryellen Hays, Wolcottville, Indiana

BROCCOLI-CHEESE PUFF



Broccoli-Cheese Puff image

Here's a recipe I tend to lean on for make-me-feel-special comfort food. Based on a recipe from McCall's Cooking School, #6 under EGGS, CHEESE category. The introduction says, "A SAVORY VEGETABLE BREAD PUDDING. This is a truly magnificent vegetable side dish -- broccoli, cheddar cheese, and bread cubes baked in a basil-flavored egg custard and topped with rings of fresh bread. Prepare it up to 1 day in advance and then pop it into the oven to bake just before serving. The abundance of eggs and cheese makes this dish high in protein, and for a light lunch or dinner you need only add a big tossed salad." The only special tool that not every kitchen has is a 2.75-inch-diameter doughnut cutter required to give this dish its festive appearance; invest in one -- they're cheap! The resulting smiles will make you happy you did! You'll look like a genius! :) Neither prep nor cooking time includes 30 minutes standing time.

  • Coarsely shred Cheddar cheese. Place cheese, bread cubes, and drained chopped broccoli into a large mixing bowl. Toss well and spoon into the prepared baking pan.
