Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Gently roll each sheet into a rectangle of equal size. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Brush one puff pastry sheet lightly with water. Sprinkle evenly with half of the grated Parmesan cheese. (Time: 2 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Carefully place the second puff pastry sheet on top of the cheese-covered sheet. Brush the top with water and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. (Time: 2 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Using a star-shaped cookie cutter (2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches), cut out stars from the layered pastry. Re-roll scraps as needed to maximize the yield. (Time: 10 minutes)
06
Step
15 mins
Arrange the stars on the prepared baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, or in the freezer for 5 minutes. (Time: 5-15 minutes)
07
Step
20 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the stars are puffed and golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (Time: 15-20 minutes)
08
Step
5 mins
Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm and enjoy! (Time: 5 minutes)
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or garlic powder to the Parmesan before sprinkling it on the pastry.
If you don't have a star-shaped cookie cutter, feel free to use any shape you like, or simply cut the pastry into squares or rectangles.
These stars are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for the best texture.
