Quick Puff Pastry Appetizers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry:
    • Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
    • Cut into squares, rectangles, or circles depending on your preference.
  3. Add Fillings:
    • Spread a little cream cheese on each square (optional).
    • Add shredded cheese and any other toppings you like.
  4. Fold or Roll:
    • Fold the pastry over the filling (triangles, pinwheels, or simple pockets work great).
    • Press edges with a fork to seal.
  5. Brush with Egg Wash:
    • Beat the egg and brush over the tops for a golden, shiny finish.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden.
    • Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Speed:

  • Keep toppings prepped before starting — it makes assembly a breeze.
  • Mini versions bake faster and are perfect for parties.
  • You can make sweet versions too: Nutella + banana, jam + cream cheese, or cinnamon sugar.
