Notes

  • For a flakier crust, keep the puff pastry cold until baking.
  • Use any cheese you prefer—cheddar, gouda, or mozzarella all work well.
  • If you like a little spice, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
