Traditional Italian Salami, Spinach and Cheese Puffs

Spring is in the air which means we all start to get outside and enjoy the sunshine with family and friends.  Spring is the start of the entertaining season as we make our way into the end of year festivities. I’ve been getting creative with some easy dishes to make when you have friends coming over.

I am using D’Orsogna Traditional Italian Salami which you will find on top of the deli counter at your local Woolworths.  It has a lovely flavour and you can slice your pieces as thick or thin as you like making it also perfect for a antipasto platter.  I have used it to add a delicious flavour and colour in these salami, spinach and cheese puffs.

With only a handful of ingredients and no fussy rolling or folding you will have these assembled and cooked on the table in around 20 minutes.  Alternatively, make them up in the morning, leave them in the fridge and simply place into a hot oven 10 minutes before you are ready to eat.

LETS PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

  5. Fold the corners of the puff pastry over to the centre leaving a gap in between them and push down gently at the point and place onto a lined baking tray.Traditional Italian Salami, Spinach and Cheese Puffs Traditional Italian Salami, Spinach and Cheese Puffs
  6. Mix together the egg and water and brush the top of the pastry (this will give them a lovely golden colour.)  Place into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until they are golden and puffed up.

Best enjoyed warm from the oven.

These also make a great weekend dinner served with a crunchy salad.

Makes 8 (simply double the mix to make more)
