Luckily for busy cooks, there is a convenience food for almost everything that used to be prepared at home from scratch. This recipe uses frozen mini fillo shells which can be found in the grocer’s freezer near the puff pastry and frozen pie crusts. There are several kinds of spinach artichoke dip suitable for these tarts; Jenny uses the frozen variety (Friday’s Brand), but the refrigerated kind, available at warehouse stores, works well too.
Be sure to make lots of these luscious bite-sized appetizers; they’ll go fast.
