Puff Pastry Squares Variations
There are many ways to make this recipe your own! If you don\u2019t want ham and cheese, or tomato and cheese, you can use any of the following combinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sundried tomatoes and cream cheesespinach and fetasmoked chicken and fetatuna and roasted red pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips
The puff pastry should be completely thawed so it\u2019s pliable enough to roll out but still cold. The best is to leave it to thaw overnight in the fridge instead of leaving it on the kitchen counter at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the pastry is too warm, it won\u2019t puff enough. To make sure you get a nice puff, make sure not to skip the refrigeration step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The oven should be hot (preheated to 180\u00b0). If you see the pastry squares brown too quickly, you can place a sheet of foil loosely on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Store Puff Pastry Squares
Store the puff pastry squares in an airtight container (in the fridge) for up to 2 days. Reheat the pastries in the oven to make them crispy again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can You Freeze Puff Pastry Squares
Yes, the baked puff pastry squares can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow the pastry squares to cool completely, then wrap them with plastic wrap. Transfer the wrapped puff pastry squares to a freezer bag for freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
