Description
Deliciously flaky and cheesy bites that combine puff pastry with classic pizza flavors, perfect for gatherings and family fun.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (or provolone/cheddar)
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce (marinara, pesto, or spicy arrabbiata)
- 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, or fresh basil
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
- Flour (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry to about ¼ inch thickness and cut into 4×4 inch squares.
- Sauté your chosen toppings in a skillet until fragrant and tender.
- Place a spoonful of tomato sauce at the center of each square, followed by cheese and your chosen toppings.
- Fold the squares to form triangles or pockets and seal edges with a fork.
- Brush with egg wash if desired, then bake for 15-20 minutes until puffy and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a vegan option, use a plant-based cheese and milk alternative for the egg wash. Avoid overfilling to prevent sogginess.
