4 scallions, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

2 cups roughly chopped artichoke hearts

3. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each square and then fold in the edges of the puff pastry. Top each square with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Transfer the squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
