Bake Pastry Shells
Place the puff pastry shells on a baking tray. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden and puffed. Allow to cool.
Tip: Brush with a lightly beaten egg before baking for a golden finish.

Preparing the Filling

1
Sauté Aromatics
In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
