Puff Pastry Snails

These pretty looking Puff Pastry Snails make for a super easy and quick little snack to bring to the next party. They taste great, regardless of whether they are enjoyed warm or cold.

The perfect finger food

Pastry snails are probably one of the best snacks when it comes to finger food.
They are easy to grab, small enough to eat in one go, and almost everyone loves them.

You can prepare pastry snails in advance

Another great thing is that you can prepare your pastry roll hours or even days before.
As mentioned in the preparation section below, you can keep your pastry roll in the freezer. If doing so, take the roll out of the freezer about 15 minutes before you want to cut it in slices, so the roll isn’t too hard anymore.

Create Puff Pastry Snails with different fillings

You can create your own versions of puff pastry snails with different fillings.
As an example, you can also do vegetarian versions with Pesto, tomato paste with oregano, or dried tomato with mozzarella.
