Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Shells

Preparation Directions: Baking Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Important: Oven must be preheated. 2. Remove all wrapping. Break along pre-scored lines to separate pastry shells. Place shells onto ungreased baking sheet with tops up. 3. Place baking sheet on middle oven rack. 4. Bake 18-20 min. Or until golden brown and puffed. 5. Cool on wire rack 5 min. Use knife to remove tops and soft pastry underneath. Tops may be used as garnish. For warm fillings, use immediately. For chilled fillings, cool 5 min. More. Helpful Hints: Wrap any unused unbaked shells in plastic wrap or foil and return to freezer. For more golden brown color, before baking, brush tops of pastry shells with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp. Water). Do not let egg wash run down sides of shells. Bake time could be affected by type and color of baking sheets, use of non-stick baking sheet liners or parchment paper, and should be adjusted accordingly.
