Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and unfold 1 thawed puff pastry sheet onto it, lightly pressing to fit.
- Step 2: Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, being careful not to cut through.
- Step 3: In a bowl, gently toss 2 cups fresh blueberries with 1 tbsp cornstarch, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until berries are coated.
- Step 4: Sprinkle 1/4 cup almond flour evenly within the scored border on the puff pastry.
- Step 5: Spoon the blueberry mixture over the almond flour, spreading evenly inside the border.
- Step 6: Fold the edges of the pastry inward slightly, then brush the 1 beaten large egg over the exposed pastry edges to create a golden crust.
- Step 7: Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds over the blueberries.
- Step 8: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden and the blueberries are bubbling.
- Step 9: Cool on the sheet pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
