Here’s a quick guide to making easy puff pastry snacks—flaky, buttery, and perfect for any occasion 🥐✨
🥘 Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Filling of your choice:
- Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Ham, spinach, or cooked vegetables
- Sweet option: Nutella, jam, or cinnamon sugar
🥄 Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the pastry
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a floured surface.
- Cut into squares or rectangles (~3×3 inches).
- Add the filling
- Place a small amount of your filling in the center of each square.
- Don’t overfill—leaving edges clear helps seal them.
- Fold & seal
- Fold over the pastry (triangle or rectangle) and press edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush with egg wash
- Beat the egg and brush over the tops for a golden finish.
- Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Serve
- Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or party treat.
💡 Tips
- For savory snacks, sprinkle herbs or sesame seeds on top before baking.
- For sweet snacks, sprinkle sugar or drizzle chocolate after baking.
- Puff pastry can be stored frozen; bake straight from frozen if needed, adding a few extra minutes.
