“I received free samples of Cabot Cheese mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe challenge sponsored by Cabot Creamery and am eligible to win prizes. I was not additionally compensated for my time.”
The Recipe Redux and Cabot Creamery have teamed up to challenge Recipe Redux participants to make healthier appetizers and finger foods. I love Cabot Creamery Cheese. Â I recommend the brand and purchase it for our family frequently. Â I especially love their lower fat cheeses.
As part of this challenge Cabot sent me a variety of their cheddar cheeses. Â I get so excited when samples come to my door. Â Super Bowl weekend is almost here. Â What a perfect time to experiment with appetizers and finger foods!
In Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwiches are pretty popular, to say the least. Â Cheese Steak sandwiches though are pretty big and full of calories and fat. Â I decided to make a smaller version of the cheese steak perfect for a Super Bowl party. Â Even though the Eagles did not make it we will still be watching the big game.
Puffed pastry provides a great way to enclose the cheese steak filling. Â I made two versions, one with onion and one without. Â My husband and I eat onions, but my son does not. Â Tyler gave me his approval of the recipe by telling me that they were delicious!
The filling ingredients can be made ahead of time. Â That is what I did. Â I assembled the bites right before we were ready to eat them. Â You do want to warm up the meat and onion a bit before assembling them. You don't want the ingredients to be cold in the center.

This is the first time I worked with puffed pastry. I think the phyllo sheets were more challenging.
