Chef Larry's Notes
Croustades are pastry "cups" made from puff pastry dough sheets. Simply cut croustades in desired shape and size from puff pastry dough sheets. Brush with beaten egg and bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees F for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool before cutting with a serrated knife. Puff pastry dough sheets are available in the frozen bakery section of most markets.
