  1. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, so maybe looking at this roundup wasn’t the best idea. That croissant will be really good, though.

  3. Wow, I’ve never heard of nian gao done as individually wrapped bits! Always seen it out of a glass pan. That spring roll wrapper variant sounds fantastic.

  4. So many delicious ideas! Those bacon, egg & cheese breakfast tarts are looking especially tasty… gonna have to give ’em a try tomorrow, methinks! :9

  5. I FRIKKIN LOVE PUFF PASTRY

    The things I’ve been making lately include

    – tomato or mushroom or whatever vegetable tarts: puff pastry + goat cheese + tomato slices/sauteed mushrooms/asparagus/broccolini/whatever, layered like a pizza

    – dessert things: puff pastry + jam/lemon curd/honey goat cheese + berries/fruit/both, layered same^

    – breakfast muffins?: puff pastry squares shoved in muffin tins + scrambled egg poured in + vegan chorizo/green onions/cheese/sauteed mushrooms/cherry tomato/whatever

    Al cooked at 400 degrees between 20-30 minutes! So easy, all of them look way more impressive than they are, and that shit is DELICIOUS.

    Loved this list, too!! Definitely gotta experiment a little now!

        • It is.
          Just use the same amount of orange juice as you would lemon, the same amount of zest but half lemon and half orange then continue to follow what ever your standard lemon curd recipe requires of you.
          And ta-taaa orange curd, a substance better than marmalade.

    • YUM. Great ideas! Thanks! I am definitely going to make breakfast muffins this way next time I pick up some puff pastry!

  6. All of the yes. Also my partner and I have been marathoning the Great British Bake Off so lately all I’ve been wanting to do it bake while speaking in a British accent.

  7. Yass puff pastry pizza, the best non traditional pizza ever. It can be done without meat or cheese just needs sun dried tomato paste, ripe vine tomatoes herbs and it’ll be the best pizza you’ve ever had I swear.

    Ooh and pastelitos.

    They’re not hard just need guava paste and know how do hand pies or “turn overs”.

    Bless this list and who ever invented puff pastry.
    I’m so hungry tho.

    • I discovered magical puff pastry when I was vegan! The Pepperidge Farm brand is vegan and DELICIOUS. I think most of these recipes could easily be veganized, actually….yum!
