  2. 2 Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large square, about 12 inches. Cut into 4 equal squares, and then cut each square in half diagonally, making 8 triangles.
  3. 3 Position the triangle so the wide end is facing you, and the point is away from you. Dip your finger tip in some water, and moisten the edges of each triangle. Whisk the egg and tablespoon of water in a small bowl, and set aside.
  4. 4 Add about 1 teaspoon Nutella to the center, and top with about 1/2 teaspoon strawberry jam. Starting on the wide end, roll up dough over the filling toward the point, pinching in the dough, so the filling doesn't ooze out, and shaping the ends into a crescent shape. Brush each crescent with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  5. 5 Line your air fryer basket with a parchment liner or spray with cooking spray. Place the croissants into your air fryer basket, seam side down, so they're not touching.
  6. 6 Cook in the air fryer until golden brown,11 to 14 minutes. Your cooking time may vary depending on the size and brand of your air fryer.
  7. 7 Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Fold each strip over the filling and press gently to seal it. Brush each piece with egg wash and sprinkle sliced almonds over the top. Cut into 3 to 4 inch pieces, then cut 1/2 inch slits into the sealed edge to make the ''claws''. Place the bear claws at least two inches apart on baking sheets.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place bacon in a large cold skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Drain bacon fat and wipe the pan, but do not clean completely.
  3. 3 Shape ground beef into a patty that is about 1 inch thick by 4 1/4 inches in diameter. Season well with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Sear seasoned burger on high in the skillet for 2 minutes per side. Move the burger to a plate and transfer into a refrigerator to cool.
  4. 4 Remove a sheet of puff pastry from the freezer (I used 1/2 package of Dufour Puff Pastry). Roll the pastry to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out a 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 inch round circle of dough for the bottom. Cut out a 7 1/4 to 7 1/2-inch round circle of dough for the top. Place the dough on a sheet pan, and put in the freezer until firm.
  5. 5 Cut a small hole into the middle of the top piece (to function as a vent), and lightly score the surface of the pastry with the tip of a knife, but do not cut all the way through. Place the top piece in the fridge to keep cold.
  6. 6 Take the bottom pastry on the pan from the freezer and top with burger, bacon, and cheese. Beat egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and brush the edges with the egg wash. Place the top pastry piece over the fillings. As dough warms and softens, press the top edges into the bottom piece edges and seal tightly. The bottom edge of dough can be rolled up and over top of the pastry to finish the seal. Place in the fridge until well chilled, about 20 minutes.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Crimp the edge of the pastry with a fork, and egg wash the top surface.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

  1. 1 To make the frangipane filling: Place almond paste into a food processor or blender with about half of the sugar, and process until well blended. Add butter and remaining sugar and process until smooth; blend in 1 egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, flour and salt. Set aside.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  3. 3 Roll out one sheet of puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Keep pastry cool, trying not to knead or stretch it. Use a large pie plate, cake pan, or skillet to trace an 11-inch circle onto the dough using the tip of a small knife. Place the circle of pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second sheet of pastry; place on a plate. Refrigerate both sheets.
  4. 4 Mound almond frangipane filling onto the center of the pastry that is on the baking sheet. Leave about 1 ½ inch margin at the edges. Press the bean or fève down into the filling. Place the second sheet of pastry on top, and press down the edges to seal. Beat the remaining egg with a fork, and lightly brush onto the top of the galette. Use a knife to make a crisscross pattern in the egg wash, and then prick several small slits in the top to vent steam while baking.
  5. 5 Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Do not open the oven until the time is up, as the pastry will not fully puff. Remove from the oven, and dust with confectioners' sugar. Return to the oven, and cook for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  2. 2 Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic; cook and stir until shallots are tender and translucent and mushrooms release their juices, 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. 3 Place 2 puff pastry squares on a work surface; top each with 1 chilled filet. Divide mushroom mixture between filet tops; cover each with 1 remaining puff pastry square. Fold and pinch pastry edges together to enclose filling and seal. Trim pastry to make tidy packages; cut a small slit on top each package.
  4. 4 Heat remaining 1 1/2 cups red wine in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; set aside and keep warm.
  5. 5 Whisk egg and milk together; brush pastry packages with egg mixture to help browning. Refrigerate pastry packages to keep cold.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. 3 Spread chocolate-hazelnut spread evenly onto puff pastry with the back of a spoon. Roll out second puff pastry sheet and place on top.
  4. 4 Place a glass or Mason jar face-down in the center of puff pastry. Use a sharp knife to cut pastry into 4 equal strips, stopping at the border of the glass. Cut through each quarter to make 8 strips, then once more to produce a total of 16 equal strips, while keeping the center intact.
  5. 5 Twist 2 strips away from each other; pull outward and seal seams together. Repeat with remaining strips until pastry resembles a star. Brush top with beaten egg.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until puffy and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes, before serving.
