Description

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheets to smooth out creases. Cut into 24 squares with a chef’s knife.
2. Step 2Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Gently press each square into prepared cups, ensuring pastry slightly protrudes out of the cup—this will create a cup-like shape after baking.
3. Step 3Fill each square with jam, shallots, red peppers, a cube of feta, and a sprinkle of thyme; season with salt and pepper.
4. Step 4Bake feta bites until pastry is cooked through, puffed, and browned, around 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
5. Step 5Transfer bites to a platter. Top with more thyme, lemon zest, and a drizzle of chili oil.
