How to Make the Fastest Puff Pastry Appetizer!


Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry (thawed)
  • 2–3 tablespoons pesto, tomato sauce, or cream cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional: sliced cherry tomatoes, cooked bacon bits, herbs, or olives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare puff pastry: Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Add filling: Spread your chosen sauce (like pesto or cream cheese) over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top. Add any extra toppings if you like.
  4. Cut & shape: Cut the pastry into small squares, rectangles, or roll it up and slice into pinwheels. Place them on the baking sheet.
  5. Egg wash: Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops for a golden finish.
  6. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly and enjoy warm!
