QUESITOS (PUERTO RICAN CHEESE-STUFFED PUFF PASTRY)
These exquisite pastries are a guilty pleasure in Puerto Rico, where bakeries boast about having 'the best'. The only hard part of these quesitos would be preparing the French puff pastry, but if you get it frozen then it is a very simple process.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut cream cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices; place cut side-down on a board and cut into logs.
- Place 1 cup sugar into a small bowl; place cream cheese logs into sugar and roll to coat. Set aside.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet evenly into 3 to 4 squares, no bigger than 5 to 6 inches each. Place 1 square in front of you with 1 corner pointing down. Place 1 sugar-covered cheese log about 1/3 up from the bottom corner; proceed to fold pastry around it in the same manner as an egg roll, with the bottom corner over cheese, side corners towards the center, then roll from bottom, up. Brush some water in the last corner to seal roll.
- Place quesito on the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat with all squares, making sure there is at least 1-inch between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Brush tops with corn syrup.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put a medium saucepan on the stove over high heat. Put the figs, honey, and water in the pan, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and allow the water to simmer. The honey and natural sugars from the figs should thicken the water. Continue to simmer figs until a sauce is achieved that is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. When sauce has reached that consistency, remove from heat. Put "fig sauce" in a refrigerator-safe container, and allow cooling for at least 20 minutes.
- Spread a sheet of puff pastry out on a clean, lightly floured surface. Scoop a small amount of fig sauce on the puff pastry sheet with about 2 inches around the sauce on every side. Put a piece of Brie on top of the sauce. Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry over the cheese. Squeeze the edges of the pastry together then carefully flip the pastry over, so the smooth surface of the pastry is facing up. Gently take the pastry and put it on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat this until all the cheese is used. You should have 8 small stuffed pastries.
- When all the pastries are on the sheet tray, take a pastry brush, and lightly brush egg whites on the top and sides of each pastry, this will give the pastry a shine when it comes out of the oven. Drizzle a small amount of honey on top of each pastry.
- Bake the pastries until the puff pastry is a golden brown. This should take about 15 minutes, but keep your eyes on the baking process. When the pastries are golden brown, remove from the oven, and allow them to cool on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool for 3-5 minutes, then serve warm.
STUFFED CHOCOLATE PUFFS
Steps:
- For the mousse: Chill a bowl and the beater of an electric mixer in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a double broiler, melt the semisweet and bitter chocolate over simmering water until hot. Stir in the cinnamon. Remove the double boiler insert, holding the melted chocolate, from the saucepan. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes.
- In the frozen mixing bowl, whip the cream to firm peaks. (Do not overbeat.)
- With a rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chocolate. Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate, 1/4 at a time. (Mix just enough to get the chocolate incorporated into the whipped cream.) Set aside in the refrigerator.
- For the cream puffs: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium size heavy saucepan, combine the milk, butter and salt. Bring to a boil. Add the flour all at once. Mix quickly with a wooden spoon until a ball forms on the spoon and the flour is evenly moistened. Transfer to a bowl and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Place the cream puff dough in a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip. Pipe out 6 round puffs on a parchment lined baking sheet. With a finger dipped in cold water, flatten the point on top of each puff. Drop the pan on the counter to set the puffs. Bake the puffs until puffed and golden, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake 20 to 25 minutes longer, or until puffed, golden, and done. Set aside to cool on a rack.
- For the assembly: Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip with the Chocolate Mousse. Split the puffs in half lengthwise and fill them with the mousse. Using the tips of your fingers, drizzle melted chocolate (about 3 ounces melted over hot water) across the tops of the filled cream puffs.

- Leek, Fennel, and Poppy Seed Tart. This elegant-but-easy dish features thinly sliced leeks, fennel, grated Parmesan, and a smattering of poppy seeds. Offer it alongside a big bowl of green salad.
- Chocolate-Hazelnut Napoleons. Weighing the puff pastry down with an extra sheet pan while it blind-bakes is a classic way to get the crackle without the height and also gives the pastries a sleek, modern look.
- One-Hour Apricot and Almond Galette. A luxurious almond cream makes this one-hour stone fruit dessert taste like an all-day labor of love. If you're short on time, you can even make the almond cream up to three days ahead.
- Potato, Leek, and Pea Pot Pie With Spinach-Arugula Salad. Give pot pie a makeover with creamy new potatoes, sweet peas, and sausage bathed in a light, lemony sauce.
- Figs-in-a-Blanket With Goat Cheese. Spicy, honey-glazed figs are balanced by creamy goat cheese in this fun vegetarian play on pigs-in-a-blanket. If goat cheese isn't your thing, try these bites with brie, Camembert, Manchego, or Parmesan.
- Bacon and Egg Casserole. This lattice-topped, make-ahead casserole is almost too pretty to eat. With bacon, soft-boiled eggs, and cheese peeking through, however, we'll definitely manage to dig in.
- Savory Mushroom and Parmesan Palmiers. Store-bought puff pastry makes these savory "elephant ears" stuffed with cremini mushrooms, herbs, and Parmesan an easy bite-sized appetizer.
- Glazed and Flaky Apple Tart. If you're the type who prefers desserts that go heavy on the fruit, this apple tart's for you. Halved apples (that's right, no slicing or dicing) are roasted with brandy and maple syrup, then arranged on puff pastry with almond streusel to add crunch and absorb any rogue juices.
- Carrot Tart With Ricotta and Almond Filling. Arranging the carrots in a geometric pattern transforms this savory tart into a truly show-stopping side or appetizer, while a zesty carrot top salad provides a nice pop of color and flavor.
- 3-Ingredient Cinnamon-Sugar Twists. These buttery, flaky twists get extra crispy, with a pop of warm spice. The three ingredients these universal favorites rely on?
