Here's another recipe using Athens Foods' Mini Fillo Shells. I love them so much because they allow you to make appetizers or snacks so quickly! When Athens Foods asked me to develop a recipe that was a different twist on Spanakopita using these shells I knew I wanted to use goat cheese.
I use the shells right out of the oven.
This is how I get the excess moisture out of defrosted (previously frozen spinach). Put it into a tea towel and wring it out over your sink.
Chop the spinach, parsley and artichokes. I also added artichokes to this recipe!
Mix with goat cheese, add a little bit of salt and pepper.
Fill the cups and bake.
It's super simple and I just love the flavor combination from the goat cheese, spinach and artichokes!

Disclosure: I partnered with Athens Foods for this post. I love working with them and always share with you only my personal opinions.

Spanakopita Bites with Goat Cheese and Artichokes Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 ounces frozen spinach, defrosted
- 1/2 can, 14.5 ounce-can artichokes, drained, slightly squeezed and chopped small
- 1 Tablespoon fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped small
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- Athens Foods Mini Fillo Shells, 15-count
- diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Prep spinach by putting it in a clean tea towel and twisting over the sink, to drain out the liquid. Remove the spinach from the towel and chop.
- In a small bowl, mix spinach, artichokes and parsley. Add goat cheese. Season with salt (will need very little) and pepper. Portion out on mini phyllo cups.
- Bake mini phyllo cups on a foil covered baking sheet for 15 to 17 minutes, until completely heated through. Add diced tomatoes on top and serve immediately.

I LOVE spanakopita, and I never thought to add artichokes, that sounds so good! I also usually use fillo sheets, never like this as bites, thanks for sharing this product 🙂

Great little appetizer! I’ve done something similar with puff pastry and actually have these mini shells on hand in the freezer too. They are much easier than dealing with the large phyllo sheets!

Oh, how I love those Athens fillo shells! Traditional spanakopita is one of my favorite appetizers and I love how you’ve kept the taste (and with artichokes!), but made the prep time significantly shorter.

These are so cute and I bet incredibly delicious! Love finger friendly foods too 🙂
