For an extra touch of richness, brush the top of the puff pastry with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking. Feel free to experiment with other Mediterranean-inspired fillings, such as artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, or roasted red peppers. Ensure the puff pastry is properly thawed before use to prevent cracking.
