Steps:

  • Unfold thawed frozen puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into pieces just large enough to wrap around your food (see below) with a 1/2-inch overlap. Wrap, moisten the edge with water and pinch to seal.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Whisk 1 egg with 2 tablespoons water; brush on the pastry and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Ideas:
  • Bacon: Cook until crisp and drain; stack 3 slices.
  • Chocolate bars
  • Dill pickles
  • Dried figs
  • Goat Cheese: Use a thick slice; freeze 2 hours before wrapping.
  • Jalapenos: Seed if desired.
  • Mango chutney
  • Marinated artichoke hearts: Drain and pat dry.
  • Pears: Stack 3 slices.
  • Portobello mushrooms: Remove the stems; scrape out the gills.
  • Prosciutto: Stack 3 slices.
  • Pitted Olives
