Creamy broccoli cheese puffs came out of the oven when I decided to use crossaint pasty sheet to make a puff and use my broccoli florets. Super soft and yet flaky, filled with finely chopped broccoli, cream cheese and Jack Monterrey cheese turned out to be a great evening snack and a good option for my little one too.
Mostly I try and use whole wheat flour and replace the enriched wheat flour but this time I gave a try with the ready pasty flour and the result was great. You can replace broccoli with mushroom or even mixed vegetables or with any choice of your vegetables. Baked for 30 minutes with a five minutes preparation, this is a great quick bite!
