When you make starters using pastry shells appetizer's get the winning look and bright smiles of guest who wonder how much effort you took to prepare all this, but trust me by using pastry shells and dough your work time gets reduced in almost half.
Using a pastry puff dough or pastry puff shells is the smartest way to make home made starters that not only look classy but also keep the guest's surprised and wow your hard work!!
There are many options for filling's that can be used to fill these shell's like for vegetarians one can use a mixture of goat cheese ,herbs and topped with sliced tomatoes. Another one you do is stuff shells with a mushroom and cheese mix , or even spinach with potatoes mixture, try olives in the recipe ,possibilities are endless , you can do sweet fillings like pecans with berries for a sweet fill , just be creative , use your own combination. For now I tried out bell peppers chopped finely with garlic and onions, cooked in a sauce and sprinkled with cheese, follow this recipe and you are sure to impress your guests.
