# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • It feels like sharing a secret: flaky, buttery pastry wrapped around a perfectly seasoned veggie and cheese filling that’s both comforting and light.
  • This became a favorite because it’s easy to make yet impressive enough to serve for unexpected guests or a cozy snack.
02 -
  • The filling shouldn't be too wet or the pastry can become soggy; make sure to let it cool before assembling.
  • Using the beaten egg wash is what makes the pastry surface crisp and beautifully golden.
03 -
  • Chilling your assembled pastries before baking helps maintain their shape and enhances flakiness.
  • A perfectly sealed edge prevents filling leakage and keeps your baking sheet spotless.
