Blueberry Puff Pastry Recipe – Easy Breakfast Rolls

Blueberry Puff Pastry Rolls are a flaky, buttery blueberry pastry that’s quick, easy, and delicious. This Puff Pastry Blueberry recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or that sweet treat after any meal.

I love making puff pastry recipes. They make a simple recipe such as my Chocolate Puff Pastry dessert look oh la la fancy. Well, there’s nothing fancy about this Blueberry Puff Pastry recipe either but biting into one will have you reaching for another.

This recipe was originally published in 2017 so it was time for an update. I’ve added some instructions and tips that I believe will make it easier to follow. No changes were made to the actual recipe.

Artists test their own talent by trying to create a berry as beautiful as the original, just as I tried to create a puff pastry blueberry recipe that tasted as Mother Nature intended.

I don’t think that there is anything more beautiful than what good ole “Mother Nature” creates. The colors of new berries are amazing and taste even better when loaded into blueberry pastry recipes.

When berries look good, I just buy, buy and buy. When I can’t get fresh, frozen works perfectly. In fact, since they don’t grow where I live, frozen can be tastier.

So when my refrigerator was full of blueberries, I had to get creative. Creativity doesn’t mean difficult or time-consuming.

This Blueberry Puff Pastry recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. That makes this recipe about as perfect as those blueberries.

The filling is such a deep purple, that only my fingers showed how purple they really were after I shoved a couple of not-so-delicate bites into my mouth.

The buttery puff pastry was a perfect match for the sweetness of the blueberry filling, and the whole thing was finished with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Puff pastry is one of those ingredients that make a regular ole-joe cook like me look good. It’s a delicious time saver too. Whether you’re making a blueberry puff pastry dessert or little blueberry puff pastry bites for breakfast, they’re guaranteed to be delicious.

How to Make the Blueberry Puff Pastry Recipe

Step One. Preheat your oven so that it is nice and hot. While it is preheating, line two baking sheets with parchment paper so that they will be ready to go.

Step Two. Combine blueberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, salt, and butter in a saucepan, stir, and cook briefly.

Step Three. Stir in the flour to thicken the filling.

Step Four. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step Five. Unroll the puff pastry onto a floured surface and cut it into thirds.

Step Six. Spoon cooled filling down the center of each piece of puff pastry.

Step Seven. Bring the edges of the puff pastry together and pinch to close. Be careful not to overfill. Slice and bake.

Step Eight. Mix egg and water. Whip this with a fork or whisk to form a foam and brush it on top of each pastry.

Step Nine. Prick each pastry with a fork or knife to allow it to vent while cooking. Note: even though the ends are open I still vent the pastry dough because I feel it keeps its shape when it is allowed to vent. This is optional.

Step Ten. Place each pastry on the lined baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step Eleven. Allow the blueberry puff pastries to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step Twelve. Dust with powdered sugar.

Shopping Tips for Buying Puff Pastry

According to Epicurious, there are 3 considered worthy, Dufour Classic Puff Pastry, Trader Joe’s All Butter Puff Pastry, and Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets. The first two are made from all butter, and Pepperidge Farm’s version contains vegetable shortening.

They state the all-butter versions kept their flavor longer but I’ve used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry for years and it’s delicious. I say the best one is what you like. Right?

This Blueberry Puff Pastry Recipe makes a perfect breakfast over the holidays or a great addition to your brunch menu. I love working with puff pastry because it looks like you went to a lot more work than you actually did. They are sure a lot easier to make than they look!

Blueberry Filling Substitutions:

Puff pastry rolls can be filled with about anything that you can come up with. If you want to make other versions of this puff pastry blueberry recipe, the following filling ideas are excellent substitutes:

• Cream such as a Bavarian cream
• Cream cheese such as used in cream cheese danishes
• Use strawberries or another fruit either cooked into a filling like this, canned pie filling one or jam
• Chocolate or Nutella
• Poppyseed
• Use a ready-made jam.
• Instead of dusting with powdered sugar apply a vanilla bean glaze as I did to these Snickerdoodle Bars.

Equipment Needed to help you with your Blueberry pastries:

• Cooling Rack – I love these large racks. I can get an entire batch of cookies on one and they’re tough enough to hold large loaves of bread. It fits into my half-sheet pan for baking bacon too!
• Parchment Paper – This is my favorite parchment paper. It’s important to know that there is an oven temperature rating on parchment paper. If you exceed it your parchment paper can catch fire in your oven. This one is rated to 450°F, high enough for my bread recipes too.
• Rolling Pin – I’m old school what can I say? I have three rolling pins and keep going back to my tried and true classic rolling pin.

What to Serve with your Puff Pastry Breakfast

These pastries are beautiful as the sweet treat after omelets, quiche, or any savory breakfast dish like a hashbrown bowl. Add a yummy breakfast protein with eggs or sausage and you have a complete, tasty breakfast.

Blueberry puff pastries are also lovely on their own when you don’t want a heavy breakfast.

Blueberry Pastry Recipe FAQ

Tips to Make the Perfect Blueberry Puff Pastry

• Puff pastry is easiest to work with when it’s cold (not frozen).
• If your puff pastry gets warm before you cut them into individual rolls, you can pop them into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Add the zest of the lemon for more lemon flavor.
• Cook the filling until extra juices thicken. If the berries have too much juice they will be too hard to fill and will leak the juice.
• Don’t overfill the rolls. The extra filling will just bake out.
• Use a fork or a sharp knife to make small slits in the rolls so the filling has a place to vent. That will help prevent your rolls from breaking.
