SPINACH ARTICHOKE SUN-DRIED TOMATO PHYLLO BITES
Today I am sharing another recipe with you guys that is perfect for the holidays. These Spinach Artichoke Sun-dried Tomato Phyllo Bites are such a great appetizer to have at your holiday gatherings. They are festive, easy to make and the flavors are perfect together.
These beauties start with phyllo dough cups and are filled with La Terra Fina’s Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip. They are then topped with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and baked until bubbling. I think to garnish mine with chopped green onion or parsley to finish them off and make them festive with their red and green colors.
You might remember from last month’s post for Spinach Artichoke Scalloped Potatoes using La Terra Fina’s Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Greek Yogurt Dip I shared about their company history. They started in San Fransisco Bay area in 1983 by a popular caterer known for her delicious quiches and dips. She launched La Terra Fina so everyone around the country could enjoy her wonderful foods. I am so thankful she did to help me create these delicious recipes.
You might also remember this Baked Sriracha Sweet Corn Dip and Buffalo Queso Cheese Chicken Dips which are perfect for game day or even a holiday party. One of my favorite things about La Terra Fina dips is how versatile they are. You can eat them out of the tub cold or warm along with pita chips or cut up veggies. They are also great for adding into pastas, side dishes and so much more.
La Terra Fina believes that when you’re surrounded by good friends sharing stories, laughs, memories, and of course, good food, you’ve got the recipe for a great time. That’s why they have been using quality ingredients to make food you’ll want to share. Because if we’ve learned anything in the kitchen, it’s that good food is at the center of every great get-together. I believe that food really is the center of connecting people together, so their mission really resonates with me.
I know as we share meals with family and friends during the holidays I find food to be at the center of our get togethers. I have always felt that food has a way of bringing us together throughout the year and these Spinach Artichoke Sun-dried Tomato Phyllo Bites are no exception. These are bite sized too, meaning the kids and the adults can enjoy them!
HOW CAN I MODIFY THESE?
- Try sprinkling shredded parmesan or mozzarella cheese over these before baking.
- Use sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts, walnuts or silvered almonds or leave the nuts out all together.
- If you want to add a kick to these stir in some crushed red pepper into the spinach artichoke dip.
- If sun-dried tomatoes aren’t your thing try using chopped roasted red peppers.
