Holiday Pastry Presentations

Spreading our mousse style patés on puff pastries creates a lightly crisp yet smooth palette experience. The combination makes a welcoming flavor that's perfect for the holiday season.

Puff pastries - called pate feuilletee in France – are a natural fit for paté. Along with classic formal entrés like beef wellington, pastries can be used to make patés into delightfully simple appetizers and snacks.

Any puff pastry works perfectly – and there's no need to spend hours making your own. Cooking a store bought puff pastry, letting it cool and then spreading any of our mousse patés inside is all that's required to make deliciously unique appetizers. From there, the shapes, sizes and accompaniments are only limited by your imagination.

Cutting the pastry into sections and folding the paté-enfused pastries into single serve squares is one easy option. You can also fold one large section into a large tube to create a pinwheel effect. Steamed seasonal vegetables, spices and more can be served on the side to add even more bold flavors to your paté pastry delight!

Mushroom, vegetable and paté pastry

For a quick appetizer, roll out your puff pastry of choice, poke holes in it and bake until it's done. While it's cooking, pan fry some butter and onions until the onions are translucent. Add in a handful of fresh mushrooms, peppers and garlic. Continue frying until soft. When the pastry is done, spread any of our mousse patés over the pastry, then top with a thin layer of the sautéed vegetable mixture. Roll the pastry into a tube and cut into small slices to show off a delightful pinwheel of flavor!
