  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 2 triangles of puff pastry
  • 1-2 tablespoon freshly grated shredded cheese
  • Optional additions: ham, broccoli, bell pepper

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Grease ramekins
  • Roll out puff pastry, and line one ramekin with two triangles, like a pie crust
  • Gently press the dough into the bottom and stretch up the sides, poke holes in the bottom of the dough, careful to not go through the dough
  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and salt and pepper
  • Prepare any additional ingredients, steam and chop broccoli, dice peppers, and dice ham
  • Place at the bottom, on top of pressed puff pastry
  • Pour the mixture over the additional ingredients
  • Sprinkle grated cheese on top
  • Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until knife comes out clean

Cook’s Notes:

The type of fruit is totally up to you. Try combinations! My wholesale store has a frozen blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry blend that is terrific. Apples and cherries, pears and figs, peaches and mango…

Type of sugar and flour is up to you, I prefer white sugar with blueberries and bush fruit, brown sugar with cherries, apples, and other tree fruits. If I use apples, I add a little cinnamon into the fruit mixture as well. For firm fruit, like apples and pears, you may want to add 1 tablespoon fruit juice for added liquid, as fruit won’t mush apart like soft fruit to create a nice syrup.

A tablespoon of nuts of your choice can also be added to topping mixture.

Bake time for fresh, soft fruit is about 20 minutes. Bake time for fresh, firm fruit such as large, diced apples or frozen fruit is about 45 minutes.
