4 Amazing Puff Pastry Recipes in Under 30 Minutes


Bonsoir !

This week, we're keeping things flaky in the best way possible (see what I did here?).

Whether you're prepping a picnic, need a last-minute dinner idea, or want to bake something sweet without breaking a sweat, puff pastry is your shortcut to deliciousness.

So I have put together 4 easy puff pastry recipes you can whip up in 30 minutes or less, perfect for beginners, busy parents, or anyone who wants something homemade without a whole production.

Spinach & Feta Tartlets

Mini, flaky, and just fancy enough. Great for apéros, brunch spreads, or tossing in a lunchbox. Also, you will love it for the versatility! Make it.

Mini French Pear Tarts

Elegant, rustic, and so easy and ready in a few steps. These are a sweet nod to French countryside baking with a shortcut twist. Get addicted too!

Salmon & Spinach Puff Bake

Your new weeknight hero. Just a few ingredients, but it tastes like you spent hours. Make it!

Cinnamon Puff Pastry Twists

This one is so easy it should be illegal! Crispy, golden, and finished with a quick icing drizzle. No mixer, no stress, all the joy. Try it!

Which one are you going to try first?

Hit reply and tell me or even better, send me a photo if you make one!

Let’s bring back the good old days of email chats.

And as always, thank you for letting me into your inbox and your kitchen.
