Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed (recommend Pepperidge Farm for best flakiness)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold or roll the puff pastry sheets to smooth out creases.
  4. Cut each sheet into approximately 1.5-inch squares, about 24 squares total.
  5. Brush each square generously with the garlic butter mixture on both sides.
  6. Place the buttered squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each square.
  8. Brush the tops with the egg wash for a golden crust.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bites puff up and turn golden brown, checking at 12 minutes to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the bites.
  11. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use unsalted butter to control saltiness and fresh garlic for best flavor. Keep oven rack in the middle for even baking. Check bites at 12 minutes to avoid burning. Puff pastry can be chilled briefly if too soft to handle. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and plant-based cheese or omit cheese. Crescent roll dough can be used for a softer bite. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes for best texture.
