Hello Hello! What is going awn, friends? How are you? Getting sick and tired of all the presidential campaigns, as I am? ‘Cause I’m, like, hating it. I am a news junkie and have A news channel on at all times, but girrrrl. This ongoing bashing of people, that is bashing of the candidates, is quite honestly getting out of hand. I mean, I like a bit of juicy gossip, too, but damn. These guys go too far.
Also? I just did my taxes and, uhm, as a small business owner, I feel like the government took waaaaaaaaaaaay too much from me. :-/ I was cursing up and down, worse than a truck driver. Forgive me, Lord.
Anyhew. Raise your hand if you feel the same? Thanks!
But, in normal life stuff, I made us Spinach and Feta Puff Pastry Breakfast Tarts and they are da bomb diggidy!
Working off of my Roasted Berries Tart, I felt a need to make a savory version because I was craving my forever favorite combo of spinach and feta.
Way back in the day, like we are talking third grade, I had certain snacks that I’d eat after school; ajvar (roasted red pepper relish) on toast, or spinach and feta pie (zelnik). It’s how we roll.
For the reason that I can’t make a darn perfect Zelnik if my life truly depended on it, I always come up with a detour: Chicken Florentine Phyllo Pie & Butternut Squash and Spinach Pie. Thank goodness for those store-bought phyllo sheets.
As I was saying. In trying to avoid rolling out that zelnik, these puff pastry tarts came to life and we loved them. They are super fun for a Mother’s Day Brunch or a fancier breakfast, but might not be 100% practical if you have a crazy busy weekday morning. You can also throw this together on a weeknight and eat it with a side of plain yogurt – complete and utter comfort food.
Soooooo, if you were looking for something different, fun, and suuuuuper delicious, you have found it. Hit “print”, pick up those 5 ingredients and get to cookin’.
ENJOY!
