Oven-Baked Puff Pastry Delight

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.Roll out the pre-made puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to ensure it is even and thin.

3.Cut the dough into squares or circles, depending on your desired puff shape.

4.In a bowl, mix your chosen filling (vegetables, meat, or cheese) with salt and pepper to taste.

5.Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each pastry cutout.

6.Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

7.In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.

8.Brush the tops of the puffs with the egg wash to give them a golden color when baked.

9.Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for expansion during baking.

10.Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.

11.Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
