We all love pastries. They’re beautiful to look at, sweet, and perfect with your morning coffee. What we don’t love is the high prices they rack up, especially if you’re trying to get a bunch for your next brunch with friends. These four different pastries are a twist on classic pastries that you can get in most bakeries, and cost much less than buying them anywhere!

A chocolate filled braid is perfect for sharing with friends and is a clever twist on the traditional pain au chocolat, or chocolate croissant. This dish only requires making on large pastry, which is much easier than making multiple pastries and is perfect for your sweet tooth and chocoholic!

Berry cheesecake danishes are always delicious, but you can easily elevate them by cutting them and twisting them into different shapes. This will make them look fancier while still keeping the sweet and tart flavors we all love!

If you want something a little more savory, making quiche in mason jar lids is the way to go! Not a fan of ham? Make your own by adding your favorite fruits and vegetables!

Want something simple but different? Twisted cinnamon knots are the way to go for a fun twist on the traditional cinnamon roll that is delicious!
