Ingredients
For the Pastries:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
How to Make Blueberry Bliss Breakfast Pastries
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the blueberry filling: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries start to burst, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares (or rectangles, depending on your preference). If you want a more uniform size, you can also use a ruler to measure out the squares.
- Fill the pastries: Spoon a generous amount of the blueberry filling into the center of each pastry square, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Fold the pastries: Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the blueberry filling to form a pocket or triangle shape, pinching the edges together to seal the filling inside. For an added touch, you can gently score the top of the pastry with a knife for a decorative effect.
- Egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
- Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Prepare the glaze: While the pastries are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using). Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary to reach a smooth, drizzleable consistency.
- Drizzle and serve: Once the pastries are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Serve immediately, or let them cool completely before storing.
Tips
- Use fresh or frozen fruit: Fresh blueberries are ideal, but if you’re using frozen berries, make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the filling.
- Make-ahead option: You can prepare the pastries up to the point of baking and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours before baking. Just be sure to brush the egg wash on right before baking.
- Add spices: For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the blueberry filling.
- Try a different fruit: Swap the blueberries for other berries, like raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries, for a delicious variation.
Substitutions and Variations
- Vegan version: To make these pastries vegan, use plant-based puff pastry and a non-dairy milk for the glaze. Replace the egg wash with a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
- Cheese filling: For a savory variation, you can add a cream cheese filling along with the blueberries for a sweet and savory twist.
- Add nuts: If you like a little crunch, add some chopped pecans or walnuts to the blueberry filling.
Make a Healthier Version
- Less sugar: Reduce the amount of sugar in the blueberry filling and glaze for a lighter version.
- Whole wheat puff pastry: Use whole wheat puff pastry for a slightly healthier option that adds fiber to the recipe.
- Lower-fat glaze: Use a light dusting of powdered sugar instead of a heavy glaze, or substitute with a drizzle of honey for a natural sweetener.
