- 1 pack of puff pastry (store-bought for convenience)
- Cream cheese (about 8 oz)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (1-2 cups)
- Fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) or dried herbs
- Garlic powder and onion powder (to taste)
- Parmesan cheese (for that extra flavor kick)
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
- Optional toppings: sautéed veggies, pepperoni, or any fun toppings you love!
The Simple Steps to Make This Crowd-Pleasing Snack:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your puff pastry will puff up perfectly!
Step 2: Roll Out the Puff Pastry
On a clean, flat surface, unroll the pack of puff pastry. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it out into a thin sheet. You want it to be big enough to cut into small squares or strips, depending on your preferred serving style.
Step 3: Add the Cream Cheese & Mozzarella
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese evenly over the puff pastry. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add a bit of Parmesan cheese for that extra flavor and sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder on top to give it that savory kick.
Step 4: Fold & Cut
Now, you can cut the puff pastry into small squares or strips, depending on how you want to serve them. If you want to get a bit fancy, you can fold them into small pocket shapes or pinwheels, so they’re bite-sized and easy to pop into your mouth.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place your puff pastry bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them lightly with some olive oil for that golden, crispy texture. Bake them in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Once they’re baked to perfection, take them out of the oven and let them cool for just a minute. Garnish with some fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for a touch of color and flavor.
These puff pastry bites are ready to be devoured! Trust me, you won’t be able to stop at just one!
