Tips for Serving Puff Pastry at Parties
- Don't overfill: leave enough room for the pastry to expand and crisp.
- Use a hot oven: follow each recipe and the pastry package directions; temperatures and cook times differ by filling and shape.
- Prepare ahead where possible: assemble according to each recipe, then bake nearer serving time for the best texture.
- Handle fillings safely: keep cheese, egg and meat fillings refrigerated until baking. Refrigerate perishable leftovers within two hours and reheat thoroughly before serving again.
