Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Carefully roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred portion size.
Step 3: Create a Border
- For a defined crust, score a 1/2-inch border around each square without cutting through the pastry. Poke the center with a fork to keep it from puffing unevenly.
Step 4: Apply Egg Wash (Optional)
- Brush the tops with an egg wash if you want a glossy, golden finish.
Step 5: Prebake the Pastry
- Bake the puff pastry squares for 8–10 minutes or until they’re lightly golden. Remove from the oven and gently press down the centers to create a flat area for the toppings.
Step 6: Add Toppings
- Spread a thin layer of your chosen sauce over each pastry, keeping it within the borders. Sprinkle cheese generously and add your selected toppings.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
- Return the pastries to the oven for another 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
