Notes
For best results, ensure that the puff pastry is appropriately thawed and rolled evenly to avoid uneven cooking. You can also experiment with different cheese blends or add a hint of garlic powder for an extra flavor boost. Serve warm for the best taste experience, and consider pairing with a light dipping sauce, such as marinara, for an added Italian touch.
