I find of all the meals and snacks, it’s afternoon tea that can get boring. These little pastries are a delicious alternative to the ordinary. You can make a million different combinations, but this is my long time favourite. They also make great party appetisers (double the recipe), and you can pre-make a batch of them the day before and reheat in the oven on the day.
Harry was a very happy food critic when these hit his highchair.
Nutrition Note: Ricotta is naturally lower in fat and much lower in sodium than most other cheeses.

Made these for lunch today, unfortunately Mr 18mo fell asleep before they were done, so mamma had yo eat them – YUM! another batch in the oven now for when he wakes. Thanks for another great recipe 🙂

I made these yesterday with my 17 month old helping me. They are a big hit! I love them, toddler loves them and teenagers love them! Not sure if the hubs likes them because there were none left for him! Guess I need to buy some more puff pastry and make them again!

Hi can these be frozen after cooked ?

Hi Hayley, yes these could be frozen after they are cooked. I’m not sure how well the ricotta will hold up but you could give it a go. Try reheating in the oven after defrosting to help ensure the pastry stays crisp. We hope you enjoy them, Jx

FYI ricotta freezes well when allowed to thaw gently (ie not in microwave) – I make big pasta shells stuffed with spinach and ricotta in a passata sauce and freeze in small portions for my kids, reheats beautifully if thawed gently

These sound great! Have you tried feeding them to a little one? I have an 11 month old who loves finger foods
