Q & A

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Best served fresh, but you can prep toppings in advance. Reheat leftovers in the oven for crispness.

Q: Can I use crescent dough instead of puff pastry?
Yes! Texture will be softer but still delicious.

Q: How do I avoid soggy pastry?
Don’t overload with wet toppings and pre-cook vegetables if needed.

Q: Can I make it egg-free?
Absolutely—skip eggs and load up on cheese and veggies.

Q: Can I freeze it?
Not recommended once baked with eggs, but unbaked pastry can be frozen.
