Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain and chop the olives finely or pulse them in a food processor until they are finely minced.
- Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces. If they're particularly dry, you can rehydrate them by soaking them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain and chop.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to approximately a 10x10 inch (25x25 cm) square if it isn’t already the desired size. Ensure the pastry is even and not too thick.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry sheet into 16 equal squares. You can achieve this by cutting it into 4 strips in one direction and then 4 strips in the perpendicular direction.
- Place a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of chopped olives and sun-dried tomatoes in the center of each square.
- Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to the opposite corner.
- Press the edges together to seal them, using a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and to ensure they are properly sealed.
- Place the assembled triangles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the triangles to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool further.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
Tips:
- For best results, use high-quality olives and sun-dried tomatoes, as their flavors will greatly impact the overall taste of the triangles.
- Ensure that the puff pastry is well-chilled before using it. This helps in achieving a perfectly flaky texture when baked.
- If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can add some herbs like rosemary or thyme to the olive and sun-dried tomato mixture.
- Brush the puff pastry triangles with a beaten egg before baking to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish.
- If available, use a pizza cutter to cut the puff pastry into neat and even triangles.
Olive triangles are a quick and easy appetizer that brings together the robust flavors of olives and sun-dried tomatoes encased in flaky puff pastry. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can create a delicious and visually appealing snack that is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy these savory triangles hot from the oven, and watch them disappear!
