The Top Puff Pastry Appetizers for This Winter

You may not be able to have company to the house right now, but that doesn’t mean you want to skimp on meal quality with your family. Puff pastry starters are the perfect way to make a meal feel special. So if someone in the family has a special day coming up this winter, now is the time to stock up. Here are a few of our favorites:

  • Pigs in a blanket – This is a favorite of families across the nation, and you could even stock the freezer for the Superbowl in February. There’s nothing quite like tiny all-beef franks wrapped up in a flaky and buttery pastry dough.
  • Chicken & mushroom Duxelle in puff pastry – Tiny little pillows of deliciousness would also be a great name for these tasty treats. For those who are not familiar with Duxelle (pronounced like duck-SELL), it is a blend of mushrooms, shallots, and onions that are chopped and sauteed to enhance their flavors. It’s a perfect pairing with tender chicken breast and puff pastry.
  • Smoked chicken and leek turnovers – Just about anything is delightful in a turnover because puff pastry is a real treat in itself. However, we think you’ll love the combination of smoked chicken, creamy leeks, garlic, and spices.
