Tip

Place Puff Pastry shells on ungreased baking sheets with “top” facing up. Place pastry shells about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

To ensure that Puff Pastry shells will rise evenly, score the sides horizontally with a small knife.

Unfilled baked Puff Pastry shells may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 425°F oven. Do not bake shells in a microwave or a toaster oven.

"I used Broccoli and Cheese soup instead and added half a cup of sour cream and it was really good. I also used the Chedder Cheese Soup and half a cup of salsa."

"This was wonderful! I made a few changes, omitted the tomatoes, used only a teaspoon of Worchestershire sauce, I also used spicy brown mustard in place of the dry mustard. Very tasty! Next time I might add some frozen peas or carrots."

"This was REALLY good after some tweaking. I doubled the ham, soup and milk and used 1/2 tsp. of dijon mustard (rather than the dry stuff). I added the ham cubes, and some chopped green onion, to the cheese mixture because I wanted to make sure the ham was heated through, and also added some garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Then, I filled the pastry shells with some of the mixture, topped it with small slices of tomato and popped it in the oven for several more minutes. I topped each serving with the remaining ham and cheese mixture, and everyone loved them!! After these changes, I wish I had doubled the recipe! I will definitely make this recipe again!"
