Pulled Pork Pastry Puffs – only 4 ingredients! Great recipe for a quick lunch, dinner or party. Smoky pulled pork tossed with BBQ sauce and cheese then baked in puff pastry. SO good!

These Pulled Pork Pastry Puffs are a favorite in our house. They are great for lunch, dinner or parties. You can make them ahead of time and freeze unbaked until ready to serve. I am making a batch this weekend to put up for the Super Bowl next weekend. LOVE easy make ahead recipes like this one!!

I used a package of Costco Smoked Pulled Pork in this recipe. It is my favorite store-bought pulled pork. You can find it in the back of Costco with the other pre-cooked meats and soups. It comes in two one-pound packages. I always have a pack in the freezer for a quick meal.

With only 4 simple ingredients, you can’t go wrong with these pastry puffs. They are always a hit! Serve some extra BBQ sauce on the side or even some Ranch dressing would be good. I mean, what isn’t good with Ranch?!?!?

Notes:

Can assemble pastry puffs through Step 4 and freeze unbaked for later.

To bake after freezing, thaw slightly, brush with egg wash and bake as directed above.

If having trouble keeping the ends together – you can use a toothpick to keep them together when baking.

Can use pulled pork with sauce and omit the BBQ sauce in the recipe.

My favorite BBQ sauces are G. Hughes, Sweet Baby Rays, Stubbs, and Williamson Brothers.

Can you make these in the air fryer?

1. Yes. Anything you can make in an oven, you can make in an air fryer. An air fryer is simply a convection toaster oven.
  Here are our tips on how to convert recipes to the air fryer:

2. Yes. Let them reach room temp before putting in the oven and they puff up better than if they go straight into the oven from the fridge.
