Feta Puffs

These are fantastic and oh, so easy! They are also a wonderful base for experimentation. I have sometimes added some chopped sundried tomatoes which have been packed in oil and then drained. I also don't blend the filling in the food processor, but rather just leave it "chunky". Usually I don't need the heavy cream or milk. Thanks evelyn for another super recipe!

these were really good even though I messed them up. I ended up saving the filling that was runny, which was my fault. I didn't read it properly and put in the whole egg. I put the puff pastry in little muffin cups and put in the filling and baked them. It ended up turning out fine but I don't care too much for thyme. I'll make them again and this time I promise I'll read the recipe better.

These were good, had them for our Christmas Eve snack night. I think they could have used a bit more feta or something. I think next time we will try them with Asiago & minced ham. Thanks for posting.

These take a little practice to get just right but even the messy ones turn out pretty. I made these for my DBF's son's wedding rehearsal dinner and they were a hit. I'm going to play around with the stuffing next time so this is a great base for experimentation. Thanks much!

fantastic!! i thought these were easy to put together. i had all the ingredients on hand, plus i added some fresh parsley to the mixture. i also make fork marks along the edges, which turned out beautifully!! i read the directions wrong and put the thyme in the mixture. luckily, i realized it just in time to put it on top before baking! this was a very impressive and tasty dish!! everyone raved about it! i will make these again for sure! a great appy for greek meals. thanks for another keeper, ev!!

I served these as appetizers for my Greek themed dinner. We really loved these light delicious puffs! It's great that they are freezer friendly as I made up a double batch and froze some to have later. We loved them before our main meal!

Once again enticed by a photo - perfect timing as I was needing some new ideas for those holiday appetizers. Loved these Feta Puffs! Happy to know they are freezer friendly which is a real plus. Thank you for another of your recipes - this appetizer a winner at our house!

I made these with puff pastry as described in the recipe. They are very easy to make with light, airy and delicious results. I will definitely be making them again. Thx for posting.

I too used the idea of crescent dinner rolls since the store was out of puff pastry. They have a nice taste to them but it is a bit subtle in comparison to what I expect from feta. I used a tamoto basil flavored Feta. To assemble them I just left the crescents in the long rectangles they come in and pinched all the seams together giving me two long rectangles. I then spread the mix on them and rolled them up like a pinwheel. They came out looking very pretty! I did forget the thyme though so maybe that would have boosted the flavors. Still a nice appetizer to go along with our Greek Lemon Chicken Soup!

I made these for a holiday party and I wasn't real impressed. Usually feta cheese has a ton of flavor for me, but these were just kind of tasteless. They weren't awful - but I probably won't make again. They sounded really good though!!

I used this mixture, it was amazing!! Everyone loved it. I did not use puff pastry though, I used a refrigerated tube of dinner rolls... which I rolled out then cut in half and stuffed with the filling. This was a great idea and I will make them again. They freeze and reheat beautifully too.

I'm not buying frozen cheese puffs again!! This is the best cheese puff recipe i've tasted. These babies should come with a warning; "HIGHLY ADDICTIVE". They're still good with dried thyme leaves too. I didn't use any paper or flour, if your puff pastry comes separated by a plastic sheet just work straight from it, chill and they come straight off the plastic, onto a lightly greased surface with veg oil to avoid sticking. Evelyn thanks for sharing.

These went well at a dinner party I hosted this weekend. They were fairly easy to put together. I made them two days prior to using them and kept them in freezer. They tasted good! Next time I am going to add some seasonings to the feta mixture to add a little more zing to them. I love your greek recipes evelyn!

Used this recipe to test out for a wedding that I'll be catering in October. The bride, groom, and both sets of parents loved it. The only thing I changed was the method to make them and added some chopped green onions to the feta-thyme mixture. Absolutely delicious!

These were absolutely AWESOME!!I used an herbed feta because that is what I had on hand and they were so good. I thought they were going to be a hassle to prepare but it went smoother than I expected. I can't wait to make them again! Thanks so much for the great recipe.

I made these last night. FANTASTIC! They turned out just like the photo. :) I took your advice and doubled the recipe and froze the second half. We both loved these and I was very upset that the dog found the leftovers and ate them!!! HEY! No fair! :( I'll be making these again soon. Next time I might put a small strip of roasted red pepper across the top of the feta... Or some olive paste... So many options for such a simple, wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing. :)

These are absolutely wonderful! What a surprise when you open the oven door and find these beautiful puffs. I'm thinking of trying other fillings - I buy a blue cheese brie that I think would be wonderful. Of course, I have ruined the diet I started this morning! Oh well, I'll start my diet tomorrow - I wouldn't have missed these for anything. Thanks, Evelyn, I love your recipes.

These are very addicting! Another terrific appetizer from Evelyn. I found that these freeze very well already baked as well. Just pop back in the oven for a few minutes to recrisp. Yummy! My kids were sneaking into the freezer and snacking on these frozen. They take a few minutes to put together but are easy to do ahead and are so worth it.
