Pate Chaud ( Puff Pastry) with Pork fillings

One of my net pal (Chi. MOKA) gave me this recipe yesterday. It's a very easy recipe and it's so yummy. This pate chaud is crispy on the outside and the pork and crab meats fillings are just delicious. You can buy this puff pastry at any grocery stores. After you cut the sheet into a square shape. You put the meat fillings in the middle. Then add another layer of puff pastry sheet on top.


This is what it should look like after you put another sheet on top. It's ready to be bake.

It turned out great. It's a great snack.

Crispy yet savory.

Here is another plate of it.

These would go great with hot tea . Enjoy!
