Why we love puff pastry:

I love having puff pastry on hand. It is a fantastic ingredient to use in both sweet or savoury preparations.

Although I love to make just about everything from scratch, I am completely okay with admitting that store bought puff pastry will always be found in my freezer!

Puff pastry can be used for any meal, any time of the day. I love to use it in my recipe for my favourite brunch, Bacon and Egg Galettes. After a quickly prepared appetiser? Try my easy two-ingredient Pepperoni Pastries!

The options with puff pastry are truly endless; it is also a favourite ingredient of mine to use in sweet preparations, such as Cinnamon Sugar Pinwheels!

For this post, however, let me introduce you to some of my favourite Savoury Puff Pastry Recipes!
