Tip: Use high-quality puff pastry for the flakiest results. Sweet and savory fillings can be alternated for variety.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size.
  4. Add your desired filling in the center of each piece: cheese and spices for savory puffs or jam/chocolate for sweet options.
  5. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle, pinching the edges to seal.
  6. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish. Sprinkle optional herbs or spices for extra flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2–3 minutes. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Serving and Storage

  • Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
  • These puffs can also be frozen before baking. Bake directly from frozen, adding 5–7 extra minutes to the cooking time.
