tips to make Strawberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry

• Keep the puff pastry cold until you bake to get good puff.
• Do not overfill the squares or they may leak.
• Brush egg wash gently for even color.
• Use ripe but firm strawberries for best texture.
• Warm pastries slightly before adding the glaze so it spreads well.

variation (if any)

• Use raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries instead of strawberries.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese for a fresh note.
• Swap icing sugar glaze for a light dusting of powdered sugar.
