The jam puff pastries are quick, fragrant, aromatic pastries with a creamy filling. I had a roll of puff pastry nearing its expiration, an open jar of jam, and in 10 minutes, I prepared these delightful and very enticing treats for breakfast. Jam puff pastries are also perfect for a snack or after a meal. To make them even better, I added some crunchy sliced almonds; you can’t stop at just one!

Steps
Jam puff pastries are super easy and quick to make. First, unroll the puff pastry and fill half with the jam flavor of your choice; I chose strawberry.
Fold the pastry over, seal the edges well, and fold them inward. Brush the surface of the pastry with beaten egg, prick it with a toothpick, and cut it into 4 vertical and 4 horizontal sections without separating them.
Garnish the pastry with some sliced almonds and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 20/25 minutes, until golden brown.
Once cooked, dust the pastry with powdered sugar and separate the jam puff pastries.
Tips:
Jam puff pastries can be stored at room temperature for 4/5 days. You can use any jam/preserve flavor you like. If you don’t want to use egg, brush the surface with a bit of milk or melted butter.
