Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2-3 tablespoons jam (any flavor)
- Icing (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions

Ingredients
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Filling
- 3 tablespoons fruit jam (such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot)
Icing
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into four equal rectangles.
- Fill the Pastry: Spoon about 3/4 tablespoon of your chosen fruit jam onto the center of two pastry rectangles. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
- Seal the Pastries: Place the remaining two pastry rectangles over the jam-filled ones. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal, creating a crimped border to enclose the filling.
- Bake: Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Prepare the Icing: While the pastries are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk or powdered sugar as needed to reach drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the Icing: Remove the baked strudels from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the icing over the warm pastries.
- Serve: Serve warm for the best taste and enjoy your homemade toaster strudel!
Notes
- Use chilled puff pastry for best puff and flakiness.
- You can substitute jam with fresh fruit preserves or Nutella for variation.
- Ensure edges are sealed properly to avoid jam leakage during baking.
- Adjust icing consistency depending on preference—thicker for coating, thinner for drizzle.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and warm slightly before serving.
