Servings: persons

17.3 ounces package puff pastry sheets
3 large eggs
10 ounces tub original cooking creme (locate in cream cheese section of grocery store)
1/4 cup low fat milk
1 Meyer Lemon, juice and zest
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 ounces or 1 cup shredded Fontina cheese
2 ounces smoked salmon, chop in 1/8-inch pieces
5 ounces raw shrimp, shells removed, deveined, chop in 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 fennel bulb (white part), cut 1/8-inch horizontal slices to equal about 1-cup
4 ounces fresh spinach, shred in 1/4-inch strips
3 tablespoons fennel fronds (fern green part), chopped

1
Remove pastry sheets from outer package leaving each sheet in the individual wrapper. Thaw for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile prepare filling.
2
In a large measuring bowl with pouring spout, whisk eggs, cooking creme, milk, 1-tablespoon lemon juice, 1-tablespoon lemon zest, and flour until smooth. Stir in Fontina cheese, smoked salmon pieces and raw shrimp. Set aside.
3
Heat oil on HIGH in a large skillet. Toss the sliced fennel bulb into hot oil, don't stir, shake pan a little and cook 2 minutes or just until fennel is pan-roasted and just beginning to turn brown. Lower heat to MEDIUM and add spinach, stir and cook until wilted. Set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
4
Line two 8-inch by 8-inch baking pans with parchment paper. Spray sides and bottom of pan with cooking spray. Unfold each thawed puff pastry sheet in it's own baking pan. Gently stretch the short-sides up the pan wall to make a 1 1/2-inch edge. Pastry corners will easily stretch to the top edge of pan. Divide fennel-spinach mixture in half and spoon over pastry sheet. Pour egg mixture evenly over fennel-spinach mixture. Bake for 25 minutes or until set in center. Cover with foil the last 10 minutes if needed to prevent over browning. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. To remove from pan, run a knife along the edges and gently slide out onto serving platter, removing parchment paper. Garnish with 1-tablespoon chopped fronds on top. Serve warm or cold.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
