For optimal results, reheat in a preheated oven for a few minutes. Avoid using a microwave, as it can make the dough soggy.
How to store baked puff pastry appetizers?
Baked plain puff pastry can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Filled pastries, like puff pastry danishes, are best eaten fresh, but can be sealed and enjoyed the next day if necessary.
