3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
The steps to making this recipe are easy peasy!
Simply roll out the puff pastry, cut it into squares, and brush them with melted butter.
Then, sprinkle on the chopped herbs and shredded cheese, and bake until golden brown.
For a crispy finish, I recommend using the air fryer instead of the oven. It’s a game-changer!

Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
