Defrosted crab meat add minced shallots, a little tarragon and lot of parsley and enough mayonnaise to bind. Serve on crackers or bruschetta.As you can see I love puff pastry. It has saved me more time then I can remember. The pastry can be sweet or savory. It can be thawed, baked and topped with a variety of items.
Remember when working with the pastry to keep the pastry covered when not working with it or it will dry out. Cut puff pastry into small squares when finished baking Mix cream cheese with herbs and a little milk.
Puff pastry shells can make a do ahead appetizer to keep in the freezer. Bake shells and fill with any of the following: little meatballs in pizza sauce, when reheating top with a little shredded mozzarella, fill with caramelize onions and shredded cheddar cheese or a buffalo chicken mixture.
Freeze individually and place in plastic bag or container when hard. Defrost and reheat in 250° oven for about fifteen minutes or until warm.

Cut a sheet of puff pastry with a star-shaped cookie cutter. Arrange the stars on a parchment lined baking sheet; brush with olive oil and sprinkle with grated parmesan
I freeze them on a cookie sheet and when they are frozen transfer to a plastic freezer bag. Reheat in 250° oven for about fifteen minutes or until warm.
