Don’t be fooled by the looks, as they look seriously impressive, but are actually very simple to make.
How do you fold puff pastry parcels?
In this recipe, I’ve kept it very simple. I’m using store-bought all-butter puff pastry roll to save time.
You simply cut a square, turn it round to look like a diamond, add the fillings, then wrap one side over the other. Couldn’t get any easier than that!
Recipe tips
A few recipe tips on the way…
- Don’t overfill them or they will be hard to wrap and seal.
- Remember to brush with egg before baking to get a lovely golden finish.
- Want a alternative filling? It’s up to you want to swap for roasted peppers, cherry tomatoes or some pesto, if you like. Or add some spices!
- Bake in batches so as not to overcrowd the baking tray.
- Worried about sticking? Line your tray with baking paper just to be sure they’ll slide off with ease.

- Working with one pastry square at a time, fold the two corners not covered by the haricot into the center and pinch the ends together gently to seal.

Notes
- If you’re using frozen puff pastry, thaw it in the fridge first, preferably overnight.
- Don‘t leave the puff pastry outside of the fridge for too long, it will become sticky and hard to work with. Prepare all the ingredients first and take the dough out of the fridge when everything is ready.
- These puff pastry bundles taste best right after baking, still warm.
