Gently press each puff square into a muffin cup, letting the corners stick up like petals. This gives you deeper basket “walls.”
Egg Wash & Bake:
Brush the tops/edges with the beaten egg for that golden finish.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until puffed and beautifully golden.
Cool & Fill:
Let them cool slightly, then fill them with whatever your heart desires!
🧁 Sweet Filling Ideas:
Whipped cream + berries
Nutella + banana slices
Custard + strawberries
Mascarpone + honey + pistachios
Lemon curd + meringue bits
🧀 Savory Filling Ideas:
Scrambled eggs + cheese + bacon (hello breakfast baskets!)
Cream cheese + smoked salmon + dill
Caprese: cherry tomatoes + mozzarella + basil drizzle
Spinach & ricotta mix
Roasted veggies + feta
💡 Tips:
Serve them fresh, or make the baskets ahead and fill just before serving.
For a fun twist, sprinkle sesame seeds, Parmesan, or herbs on the pastry before baking!
Whether you’re making a bunch of these for a brunch buffet or just having fun in the kitchen, square puff pastry baskets are guaranteed to impress — and disappear fast. Want a themed version (like Easter, Christmas, or party-style)? Just say the word!
