Vegetable Puff Pastry Muffins Recipes

VEGETABLE PASTRY PURSES

Steps:

• TO PREPARE PASTRY PURSES: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Thaw puff pastry as directed. Unfold pastry on lightly floured surface. Roll into 12-inch rectangles. Cut into 12 (3-inch) squares. Heat oil in saute pan over high heat. Add shallots, corn, and mushrooms; saute for 1 minute. Add cooking wine and seasonings. Add spinach and saute for an additional 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Place 1 Tablespoon filling in center of each square. Brush edges of square with beaten egg. Bring four corners together, pressing firmly. Pull up and twist corners making top of purse. Place on a baking sheet and brush purse with egg.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with sauce (optional).
• TO PREPARE OPTIONAL SAUCE: Heat oil in saute pan over high heat. Add shallots and celery. Saute for 30 to 40 seconds or until lightly brown. Add cooking wine, brown sugar, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium. Combine cold water and cornstarch; add to cooking wine mixture and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside until ready to serve.

ANY VEGETABLE TART

Steps:

• Put a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. If you like, you can sprinkle Gruyère or Cheddar onto the center of the liner or paper in an approximate 10-by-13-inch rectangle.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, Parmesan, lemon zest or rosemary, garlic (if using), and pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to form a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to prepared baking sheet. (Place directly on top of the grated cheese, if applicable.) With a sharp knife, lightly score a 3/4-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, making sure not to cut the pastry all the way through. Using a fork, prick the pastry all over inside the border at 1-inch intervals.
• Spread crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Arrange vegetables in an even layer, using just enough to cover the surface in one layer. Scatter scallions and thyme or rosemary sprigs on top. Lightly drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the vegetables are cooked through, about 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve topped with microgreens, herbs or baby lettuces, and accompanied by lemon or lime wedges, for squeezing.

EASY DOUGHNUT PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper cups.
• Place flour, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, baking powder, salt, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix dough by hand until well combined but some lumps remain. Fill muffin tin with dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, but color is not yet golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Pour melted butter into a bowl. Mix 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg together in a separate bowl. Dip muffins in the butter coating; immediately roll in the cinnamon dusting.

PUFF PASTRY TART WITH VEGETABLES AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to a 10x14-inch rectangle and place on the prepared sheet. Score edges with a sharp knife, about 3/4 inch from the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through the pastry. Inside the scored edges, prick several times with a fork. Brush pastry with beaten egg, reserving any unused.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
• Combine olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted, add chopped mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook until vegetables release their liquid, then continue cooking until the skillet is nearly dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Season onions and mushrooms with salt and pepper and stir in thawed and drained spinach and chopped tomatoes.
• Combine the remainder of the beaten egg, garlic and herb cheese spread, and cream in a small bowl. Gently brush cheese mixture over the partially baked puff pastry, staying inside the scored edges.
• Distribute the vegetable mixture over the cheese mixture and bake until the edges of the pastry are nicely browned and the cheese mixture is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan about 5 minutes.
• To serve, cut into serving pieces and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

VEGETABLE-PUFF-PASTRY-MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C; grease your muffin pan.
• Cook the mixed vegetables until just tender.
• In a big bowl mix cream, 50 g cheese, flour and eggs. Season to taste. Add the veggies.
• Cut the puff pastry sheets in half. Stretch them a bit and line each muffin mold with one half.
• Fill with the veggie-mixture and then press together the tops of the puff pastry so that you get little packets in which the veggies are enclosed. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes.
