Greek Puff Pastry Appetizer

Need a big kid snack that is easy yet impressive? You HAVE to make these. I know I say that a lot. But I’m the writer and recipe creator, so trust me on this one (and all the others).

Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry is awesome. I always have several boxes in my freezer. You can whip up some quick breadsticks, dinner or breakfast.

These took very little time to make. While they were baking I cut up all the veggies. I served them to some friends for lunch and got thumbs up all around!

What a great appetizer to serve at your Super Bowl party this weekend! Enjoy!

And, if I haven’t hounded you all enough yet, I still need some votes over on Facebook! CLICK HERE to “like” the home chef challenge page and vote for my Pumpkin Muffin recipe. Thanks friends!
