Ingredients
  

Bite Ingredients
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, preferably store-bought) For easy preparation.
  • 4 oz smoked salmon Can be substituted with cooked shrimp.
  • 4 oz feta cheese (crumbled) Consider using goat cheese for a creamier taste.
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika Feel free to modify with sweet paprika for less heat.
  • 1 egg beaten Used for egg wash.
  • to taste fresh dill or chives For garnish; can swap with parsley.

  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 2-inch squares.
  3. In a bowl, combine crumbled feta, smoked salmon, and smoked paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Assembly
  1. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each pastry square.
  2. Fold the corners over the filling to create a pocket, pinch to seal, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Arrange the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
Garnishing and Serving
