Cooking Directions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Stir the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl.  Stir in the artichokes, red pepper and parsley.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.  Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square.  Place the pastry sheet onto a baking sheet.  Brush the edges of the pastry with water.  Fold over the edges 1/2 inch on all sides, crimping with a fork to form a rim.  Prick the center of the pastry thoroughly with a fork.  Repeat with the remaining pastry sheet.
  • Divide the cheese mixture between the pastries and spread to within 1/2 inch of the rims.  Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and the cheese is melted.  Let the pastries cool on the baking sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes.  Cut each pastry into 20 pieces.
