What is a Feuilleté?

 Many customers see ‘Feuilleté’ on our menus and ask the question:

What the heck is a Feuilleté?

Well, a Feuilleté is typically a puff pastry case containing some kind of filling – a pasty of sorts.

But at Foodilic, our ‘Feuilleté pastries are made from delicate filo pastry to give the pastry a crispier finish.

A rarity on menus in the UK, our Feuilleté pastries contain a range of sweet or savoury fillings, including:

 

• Cottage Cheese and Mascarpone

• Cottage Cheese, Mascarpone and Sorrel

• Smoked Chicken, Mushrooms and Herbs

• Cheddar Cheese and Ham

• Smoked Salmon, Soft Cheese and Sorrel

• Crab and Ginger

• Sweet Pumpkin and Honey

 

Here is our Pastry Chef at Foodilic Western Road demonstrating how the Feuilleté is produced.

 It really is as simple as that! And yet, they taste sooo good.
