  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut it into four equal squares, about 8 cm each.

  3. Brush the top side of each pastry square lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush.

  4. Arrange the pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them.

  5. Evenly distribute the sliced shallots over each pastry square. If desired, add a few cherry tomato halves or thin nectarine slices for extra sweetness.

  6. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan evenly over the shallots and fruit.

How this comparison works.

Every recipe here comes from a creator’s own video. ReelsMeals writes it down from the caption and the voiceover, and publishes it with the creator named and the original linked. When three or more versions of a dish from at least two creators are saved, the dish gets a page like this one. Reposts and the same video saved twice count once.

Times and servings come from the saved recipe cards and may be estimated. Ingredient names are matched loosely, so chicken thighs and chicken legs both count as chicken. We don’t rank them by taste: the version shown first is the one ReelsMeals cooks have saved most. Last updated 22 October 2026.
