🥐 Mini Puff Pastry Parcels

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
    • Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
    • Cut into squares (about 3×3 inches for bite-sized parcels).
  3. Add Filling:
    • Place a small spoonful of your chosen filling in the center of each square.
    • Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
  4. Seal the Parcels:
    • Fold each square into a triangle or rectangle.
    • Press edges with a fork to seal.
    • Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
    • Sprinkle sesame seeds or coarse sugar if desired.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 15–20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
    • Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
  6. Serve:
    • Enjoy warm as a snack, appetizer, or part of a brunch spread.

💡 Tips

  • For savory fillings, precook any raw ingredients to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Sweet fillings can be enhanced with a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey.
  • Freeze unbaked parcels for later — just brush with egg wash and bake from frozen (add a few extra minutes).

If you want, I can give you a super quick 5-minute version using pre-cooked fillings that’s ready almost instantly!
