Variations:
Meaty Bites: Add cooked bacon, ground sausage, or prosciutto to any filling.
Vegan Option: Use dairy-free puff pastry and swap cheese for vegan alternatives or roasted vegetables.
Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños, pepper flakes, or spicy harissa paste.
Mini Quiche Style: Use muffin tins and add an egg-based filling with vegetables and cheese.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use frozen puff pastry directly from the freezer?
A: No, let it thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature until pliable but still cold.
Q: How do I prevent puff pastry from becoming soggy?
A: Avoid overfilling and ensure any wet ingredients (like cooked spinach) are well-drained.
Q: Can these be frozen after baking?
A: Yes! Freeze in a single layer, then store in a bag. Reheat in a hot oven (375°F) for best texture.
Q: Can I make a sweet version instead?
A: Absolutely. Swap the filling for fruit preserves, chocolate, or sweetened ricotta for dessert bites.
