Why you’ll love this recipe

• Quick and easy. These homemade toaster strudels come together fast and are a delicious test of self-control — they’re hard to resist.
• Better than store-bought. With a fresh jam filling and flaky puff pastry, they taste superior to boxed versions and make a special weekend breakfast or a simple dessert any night.
• Versatile breakfast idea. Serve them with coffee, fresh fruit, or alongside eggs for a more complete morning meal.

Ingredients and substitutions

• Puff pastry sheets — store-bought makes this recipe easy. Thaw according to package directions and use the sheets to form the pastry pockets.
• Berries — frozen mixed berries work well because they break down into jam easily; fresh berries can be used but may require a bit more cooking time.
• Lemon juice — adds bright acidity to balance the sweetness of the jam.
• Cornstarch — thickens the berry filling so it isn’t runny when baked.

See the ingredient list below for exact quantities.

Instructions

• Make the berry filling. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen berries, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to low and simmer 3–4 minutes. Stir in cornstarch and cook another 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool.
• Prepare the pastry. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Cut each thawed puff pastry sheet into rectangles (six from each sheet for a total of 12). Pierce the bottoms of the pastry pieces with a fork.
• Fill and seal. Place six pastry pieces on a lightly floured surface or parchment. Spoon a few tablespoons of the cooled berry filling into the center of each, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with remaining pastry pieces and seal edges with the tines of a fork. Brush each pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
• Air fry. Arrange pastries in a single layer in the air fryer and cook 7 minutes, flip, then cook another 5–7 minutes until golden and flaky. Watch closely, as air fryers vary.
• Glaze and serve. Whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over warm pastries and enjoy.
