I was disappointed with this recipe. The pastries were dry and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These puff pastry pillows were a bit more challenging to make than I expected, but they were worth the effort. The end result was flaky, buttery pastries that were filled with a delicious and creamy filling.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different fillings, such as cheese and ham, spinach and feta, and even chocolate and banana. They're always a crowd-pleaser.
