Tip
Previous tipThe kind of pan you use can affect baking times. A nonstick or dark glazed baking sheet may bake faster, so adjust your time and check pastry while baking.
If your Puff Pastry becomes soft and sticky while working with it, chill it in the fridge for a few minutes. Place in the refrigerator between rollings, too.
Always flip and place the cut side of the Puff Pastry down on the baking sheet.
You can thaw Puff Pastry in the fridge. Separate and place each sheet on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and defrost in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.

"I think I didn't roll them thin enough so they were not like the picture on the internet. Also, they tasted only fair"

"It's very easy and tasty, but yes you do need the mini nuffin pans. Easy to have the ingredients on hand, and you can substitute any kind of strong cheese."

"This looks really good. Does anyone know if the mini-muffin pan is essential?"
