Delicious and easy-to-make Pulled Pork Pastry Puffs featuring flaky puff pastry filled with savory pulled pork, tangy BBQ sauce, and melted cheddar cheese, baked to golden perfection. Perfect as a party appetizer or a savory snack that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 (17.3-oz) package puff pastry, defrosted

Filling

  • ¾ pound pulled pork
  • ¾ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Unfold the defrosted puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 9 evenly sized squares, creating bite-sized portions.
  3. Mix Filling: In a bowl, toss the pulled pork with BBQ sauce to evenly coat the meat with flavorful sauce.
  4. Assemble Pastry Puffs: Place a spoonful of the pulled pork mixture and shredded cheddar cheese down the center of each pastry square.
  5. Seal the Pastries: Fold two opposite corners of each square over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal and avoid leakage during baking. Then place the sealed pastries on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Combine the beaten egg with water to create an egg wash, then brush it over the pastries to give them a beautiful golden brown finish once baked.
  7. Bake: Bake the pastry puffs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature as an irresistible appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully defrosted before working with it to avoid tearing.
  • For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the pulled pork mix.
  • These puffs can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Use any favorite BBQ sauce for variations in flavor, such as smoky or sweet styles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to keep the pastry crispy.
