If you're looking for some time-saving cooking hacks this holiday season (and beyond), consider stocking up on some puff pastry. While this ingredient (which you can buy frozen in sheets at the grocery store or make yourself) can obviously be used to make everything from a blueberry tart to a batch of chocolate cookies, it's also versatile enough to shine in other dishes, including several savory favorites.
For example, puff pastry can be used as a hassle-free topper for an easy take on chicken pot pie, which is basically the quintessential winter dish, or the base of a vegetable tart with bold and spicy red curry paste.
And if you're looking to save some time in the kitchen this holiday season so you can be with your loved ones instead, puff pastry is the key to a myriad of holiday-approved appetizers, main courses (including breakfast!), and, of course, plenty of desserts.
Keep reading to find out how this inexpensive supermarket staple can save you time this holiday season, and don't shy away from using these recipes after the holidays as well!
Fancy Pigs in a Blanket
Whether you're hosting a holiday party or getting ready for game day, you can't go wrong with pigs in a blanket. This "fancy" and homemade take on the classic appetizer uses store-bought sausage (feel free to pick your favorite kind) and frozen puff pastry to create an undoubtable crowd-pleaser in 30 minutes.
Parmesan-Scallion Pastry Pinwheels
These savory pinwheels made with grated Parmesan cheese and sliced scallions work great as a holiday appetizer, but they could also be added to a breakfast spread along with some eggs, or simply enjoyed as a snack.
Pizza Croissants
As you may have guessed, this recipe merges pizza and croissants (courtesy of frozen puff pastry) to create a decadent dish that's bound to be a hit whenever you serve it. The result is a buttery, flaky version of pizza filled with marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni slices that, dare we say it, might just be better than the real deal.
