👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (Chicken Alfredo Cheesy Puffs)
1️⃣ Prep Like a Pro
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with non-stick parchment.
2️⃣ Mix the Magic Filling
In a bowl, combine succulent chicken, velvety Alfredo sauce, melty cheeses, and spices. Stir until dreamily creamy.
👉 Chef’s Secret: “For extra indulgence, stir in 2 tbsp cream cheese!”
3️⃣ Shape & Stuff
Roll pastry to ¼-inch thickness. Cut into 12 squares (3×3 inches).
Spoon 1 heaping tbsp filling onto each square. Fold into triangles, sealing edges with a fork.
4️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
Brush with egg wash for maximum crispiness.
Bake 18-20 mins until puffed and deep golden brown.
👉 Don’t Skip This: “Let rest 2 mins – the filling is molten lava hot!”
Notes
✅ Success Tips:
Thaw pastry properly – Cold dough cracks when folding!
