4-FLAVOR ICE CUBE TRAY APPETIZERS
These easy baked appetizers come together quickly and the result is not one, but four very different hand-held bites. The ice cube trays make stuffing and shaping the puff pastry super simple and once you learn the method, you can get creative with your own fillings.

Steps:
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll out both puff pastry sheets into 12-inch squares. Lay half of 1 piece of pastry over a 12-compartment ice cube tray (the remaining half of the pastry will hang off the tray) then gently use the back of your fingers (or the handle of a wooden spoon) to press the dough down into each compartment of the tray. Repeat with the remaining pastry and tray.
- Fill 6 of the ice cube compartments in the same row each with 1 piece of cornichon, 1 piece of ham and 1 tablespoon gruyere cheese. Fill the next 6 ice cube compartments in the same row each with 3 mozzarella pearls, 1/2 teaspoon pesto and 2 slices sun-dried tomatoes. Fill the next 6 ice cube compartments in the same row each with 1 candied pecan, 2 red grape halves, 1 piece of brie and a pinch of black pepper. Stir together the cream cheese, scallion, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir until completely combined. Fill the last 6 ice cube compartments in the same row each with 1 shrimp then a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg then fold the puff pastry over the ice cube tray so that it completely covers the filling. Cut the excess puff pastry from around the upper edges of the ice cube trays then use your fingers to press the dough together so that it is sealed. Put the ice cube trays in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Position a rack in the center and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Use your fingers to gently loosen the puff pastry from the ice cube trays then flip out onto a cutting board. Use a knife to trim the edges of the dough to 1/4-inch-wide. Cut in between each ice cube compartment to free each filled compartment. Use a fork to crimp the edges of all the ice cube bites, making sure to keep the flavors separate.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Put the ice cube bites on the baking sheet, keeping the flavors separate). Brush the beaten egg on top of the puff pastry then sprinkle the ham bites with the remaining gruyere cheese, lay a slice of sun-dried tomato on top of the pesto bites, sprinkle black pepper on the brie bites.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheet about halfway, until the bites are puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a serving platter. Top the shrimp bites with the remaining lemon zest.

- Coarsely dice remaining 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter. Place flour in work bowl of food processor fitted with metal blade; add 4 tablespoons butter and pulse until butter is absorbed -- about ten to twelve 1-second pulses.
- Add remaining butter and pulse once or twice to distribute. Add water and pulse 3 or 4 times, just until dough forms a rough ball. Do not over-process.
- Flour work surface and scrape dough from work bowl. Shape dough into a rough rectangle and place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Press dough with rolling pin to flatten, then roll back and forth several times with rolling pin to make a 12 by 18 inch rectangle of dough.

Steps:
- Put the flour and a pinch of salt in the food processor. Turn it on and steadily pour in 150ml of water. When the dough comes together, cover it in cling film and chill for 20 mins.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into a 25cm circle. Put the butter in between two pieces of baking parchment and soften it by tapping it with a rolling pin. Cut the butter in half and repeat the process until the butter is pliable but still cold. Reshape to the size roughly of a postcard.
- Put the butter in the centre of the pastry and fold over the right and left sides of the circle, overlapping in the middle. Press the dough with your rolling pin to make it longer and then lightly mark into thirds. Fold the bottom third up to cover the middle third and the top third down. Seal the dough gently by pressing down on the edges with your rolling pin. Give the dough a quarter turn.
- Roll the dough out to a long rectangle (roughly 18 x 38cm), keeping the edges square and the sides straight. Mark the dough into thirds again, fold the bottom third up and the top third down. Seal the edges and give the dough a quarter turn. Repeat one more time, cover and chill for 20 mins.
- Repeat step four twice more, chilling each time. Chill for one hour before using. Watch our puff pastry video for a Good Food tutorial.

52 PUFF PASTRY RECIPES: APPETIZERS, MAINS, AND DESSERTS
From epicurious.com
- Leek, Fennel, and Poppy Seed Tart. This elegant-but-easy dish features thinly sliced leeks, fennel, grated Parmesan, and a smattering of poppy seeds. Offer it alongside a big bowl of green salad.
- Chocolate-Hazelnut Napoleons. Weighing the puff pastry down with an extra sheet pan while it blind-bakes is a classic way to get the crackle without the height and also gives the pastries a sleek, modern look.
- One-Hour Apricot and Almond Galette. A luxurious almond cream makes this one-hour stone fruit dessert taste like an all-day labor of love. If you're short on time, you can even make the almond cream up to three days ahead.
- Potato, Leek, and Pea Pot Pie With Spinach-Arugula Salad. Give pot pie a makeover with creamy new potatoes, sweet peas, and sausage bathed in a light, lemony sauce.
- Figs-in-a-Blanket With Goat Cheese. Spicy, honey-glazed figs are balanced by creamy goat cheese in this fun vegetarian play on pigs-in-a-blanket. If goat cheese isn't your thing, try these bites with brie, Camembert, Manchego, or Parmesan.
- Bacon and Egg Casserole. This lattice-topped, make-ahead casserole is almost too pretty to eat. With bacon, soft-boiled eggs, and cheese peeking through, however, we'll definitely manage to dig in.
- Savory Mushroom and Parmesan Palmiers. Store-bought puff pastry makes these savory "elephant ears" stuffed with cremini mushrooms, herbs, and Parmesan an easy bite-sized appetizer.
- Glazed and Flaky Apple Tart. If you're the type who prefers desserts that go heavy on the fruit, this apple tart's for you. Halved apples (that's right, no slicing or dicing) are roasted with brandy and maple syrup, then arranged on puff pastry with almond streusel to add crunch and absorb any rogue juices.
- Carrot Tart With Ricotta and Almond Filling. Arranging the carrots in a geometric pattern transforms this savory tart into a truly show-stopping side or appetizer, while a zesty carrot top salad provides a nice pop of color and flavor.
- 3-Ingredient Cinnamon-Sugar Twists. These buttery, flaky twists get extra crispy, with a pop of warm spice. The three ingredients these universal favorites rely on?
