How to Make Savory Pastries:

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean, lightly floured surface. Gently roll out so you have a smooth pastry sheet.
3. Using a 3-4" cookie cutter, or glass jar, cut out as many round dough pieces as possible. This will vary depending on the size of your cookie cutter.
4. Place the round dough pieces on the prepared sheet pan.
5. Using a knife, create a 1/2" circular border around the edges. Brush the pastries with the beaten egg and generously season those edges with EBTB Seasoning.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown, flaky on the edges and crispy.
7. In the meantime, combine the softened cream cheese, lemon juice, milk, and fresh herbs into a food processor. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag.
9. Let the pastries cool for 5 minutes, before piping on the cream cheese mixture and topping with hot pepper jelly to enjoy!

Can these savory pastries be made in advance?

Once the puff pastry is thawed, it's best to be used right away. You can however make the pastries and leave then out at room temperature for 2-3 hours! This is what makes them great for bridal and baby showers, tea parties, dinner parties, and so on!

How to store puff pastries? How to reheat?

Once baked, puff pastries can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Even though they are best eaten right away! If you can't eat the whole batch same day, then when ready to eat leftovers, simply reheat in the oven at 350F for 5-8 minutes.
