Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound best-quality frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for rolling
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Sprinkle work surface with sugar. Place puff pastry on top of sugar. Sprinkle top of puff pastry with sugar. Roll puff pastry into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle. Using a round cookie cutter, cut six 4 1/2-inch rounds; transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • With a sharp knife, score each pastry, making curved lines every 1/2-inch from the center out towards the edges, to resemble a pinwheel. Transfer baking sheets to a refrigerator until well chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, beat together egg yolk and cream. Brush tops of chilled pastry rounds, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edge; take care not to let any egg mixture drip over cut edges, as it will prevent pastry from puffing evenly. Sprinkle each round with 2 teaspoons sugar. Bake until crisp and caramelized, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.

Can I use a different type of cheese in this recipe?

This recipe seems a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual puff pastry recipe.

I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of flavors in this recipe. I might try it with a different filling next time.

I found the instructions a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my puff pastry tops didn't turn out as flaky as I expected.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

I love how easy these are to make. I always have puff pastry in my freezer so I can whip these up whenever I need a quick snack or appetizer.

I've made these puff pastry tops several times now and they always come out great. They're a perfect appetizer or snack and can be filled with anything you like. I especially love them with Nutella and strawberries.

These puff pastry tops were a hit! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly golden and flaky. I served them with a variety of fillings, including cheese, ham, and fruit. Everyone loved them!
