• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 18-24 puffs

Ingredients

• 17 1⁄3 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed (1 standard package)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons paprika
• 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 1⁄2 cups  finely grated gruyere cheese
• 1  cup  finely grated parmesan cheese
•  fresh ground pepper
•  flour, for dusting

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously flour two pieces of parchment paper; on each, roll out an unfolded pastry sheet to form a 15-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/16 inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the paprika into the melted butter.
2. Remove pastry from the refrigerator, and brush off excess flour. Spread a rectangle of pastry with mustard; sprinkle with both cheeses. Season with pepper. Lay a second pastry rectangle on top.
3. Place a sheet of parchment on top of the stacked pastry; using a rolling pin, roll until smooth and pastry layers are sealed together. Remove parchment, and brush top of pastry with butter mixture. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
4. With a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut into 18 to 24 shapes. Immediately place the shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sharp paring knife, score each shape four or five times to make pumpkin ridges. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Transfer puffs to a wire rack; let cool slightly before serving.
