Don’t overfill: Be careful not to overfill the puff pastry cups to avoid spills during baking.
Ventilation: Leave small gaps in the pastry for air to escape and ensure even baking.
Egg wash: While optional, brushing with egg wash helps create a shiny, golden finish on the pies.
Use a cooling rack: Allow the pies to cool on a wire rack for a crispier crust.
