FAQ
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the bites, place them on a tray, and freeze. Once frozen, store in a bag and bake directly from frozen, adding 3–4 extra minutes to the baking time.
Q: Can I use a different protein?
Absolutely—turkey, tuna, tofu crumbles, or pulled pork all work well.
Q: Do they have to be spicy?
No. Simply swap the hot sauce for mild BBQ sauce or pesto for a non-spicy version.
Q: Can I make them gluten-free?
Yes, just substitute gluten-free puff pastry. Monitor baking time since GF dough can brown faster.
