  1. 1
    Thaw the puff pastry 20 minutes at room temperature.

To assemble

  1. 2
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 3
    Unroll the pastry and cut into 8 rectangles.

    Score a frame ½ cm deep in each rectangle, without cutting all the way through, and prick the inside with a fork.
