TikTok's Viral Upside-Down Pastry Is The Perfect Blend Of Sweet Meets Savory

This upside-down pastry trend is all about taking a combination of your favorite sweet or savory ingredients and loading them into a buttery, puff pastry to bake and enjoy. The now viral recipe was originally started by TikTok creator, @lilyghodrati, and has since accumulated over 51 million views and 3.4 million likes.

Pastry lovers from all levels of baking knowledge have been captivated by just how easy it is to make their own variation of this treat, taking a spin on the recipe with different fruits, spreads, veggies, cheeses, oils, and herbs to try.

What makes this pastry so fun to recreate is just how personalized and creative you can get with what goes inside — like making it tangy with onions, balsamic vinegar, oregano, and parmesan cheese, or keeping things sweet with peaches, berries, and honey. The options and flavor combinations are endless.

Traditional Danish and puff pastry desserts are usually constructed by placing the puff pastry on the baking sheet first and adding the filling of your choice on top. However, this new take on the classic dessert does just the opposite by laying your ingredients on the tray and covering them with a puff pastry on the top — thus creating a flakey, treat with a surprise inside.

So if you have a sweet tooth to satisfy and 30 minutes on your hands, we’ve got the step-by-step guide to making these must-try treats at home.
