Pulled Pork Pastry Puffs Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 box puff pastry sheets (2 sheets), thawed
- 2 cups pulled pork (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: chopped green onions or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Filling
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the pulled pork with the barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
Step 2: Assemble the Puffs
- Unroll the thawed puff pastry and cut each sheet into 9 squares (for 18 total).
- Place a spoonful of pulled pork in the center of each square, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Fold two opposite corners over the filling and press to seal into a little pouch.
Step 3: Bake
- Place the puffs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
- Let cool slightly, then garnish with chopped green onions or parsley.
- Serve with extra BBQ sauce or ranch for dipping. Watch them disappear fast!
Tips & Variations
- Make ahead: Assemble and freeze before baking. Bake straight from frozen—just add 5 more minutes.
- Change the cheese: Try pepper jack or smoked gouda for a twist.
- No pulled pork? Leftover shredded chicken or brisket works great too.
