roasted red pepper (chopped) and cream cheese
spinach and feta
smoked chicken and feta
tuna and roasted red pepper
This recipe can be used with other ingredients like smoked chicken, BBQ chicken, BBQ pork, and even cooked ground beef!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a sweet option, spread the bottom layer with a chocolate spread (or a hazelnut spread like Nutella) and top with sliced bananas!<\/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. If the puff pastry is too warm, it won\u2019t puff enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The oven should be hot (preheated to 180\u00b0). If you see the pastry squares brown too quickly (before the cheese has started to melt), you can place a sheet of foil loosely on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Store W\u00fcrstel Savory Pies
Store the W\u00fcrstel Savory Pies 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 W\u00fcrstel Savory Pies
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
