Recipe Tips and Substitutions

Tips and Tricks

  • Keep the puff pastry cold. Work quickly and return it to the fridge if it starts to soften—cold pastry gives you the flakiest layers.

Substitutions

  • Sausage: Use whatever smoked sausage you prefer (chicken, pork, beef, turkey, etc.).
  • Pepper jelly: You can also use apricot preserves + a pinch of red pepper flakes, honey and Dijon mustard, hot honey, fig jam and cracked black pepper, or cranberry sauce for the holidays.
