FAQ:

Can I make these puff pastry snails ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare them in advance. After rolling and slicing the snails, you can refrigerate them for up to a day before baking. Just make sure to let them come to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.

Can I use homemade puff pastry? Absolutely! While store-bought puff pastry saves time, homemade puff pastry will give a more decadent result. Just ensure it’s rolled thinly for the best results.

Can I freeze puff pastry snails? Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Arrange the uncooked snails on a baking sheet and freeze them. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, cook directly from frozen, adding an extra few minutes to the baking time.

Can I use a different type of meat? Yes, you can substitute ham with other meats like turkey, salami, or chicken for a different flavor. Just make sure the meat is thinly sliced to ensure proper rolling and cooking.

These puff pastry snails are versatile, easy to make, and absolutely delicious—perfect for satisfying any savory craving!
