I've got ready-made puff pastry left over from Xmas, what shall I make?

I have some Jus-roll puff pastry left over from Christmas (I had ambitions to make a mincemeat puff pastry tree, but never got round to it.)

Can anybody give me some inspiration as to what to use with it? Maybe something savoury.

Sorry, an explanation/recipe may be helpful!
Spread it with tomato puree jazzed up with herbs and garlic granules, or red pesto. Sprinkle with cheese. Roll up into a sausage. Cut into rounds (like biscuits), and bake on a tray lined with baking paper or well oiled.

Goats' cheese puffs (put piece of goats' cheese on puff pastry, fold over like a windmill, sprig of thyme if you want to be fancy. Eat several.

Spread caramelised red onion chutney on it, crumble on goat's cheese and black olives, then sprinkle with pine nuts and bake.

Mix with grated cheese and make cheese straws.

French tomato tart with tarragon, the easiest and most delicious thing in the world.

Unroll pastry
Spread with Dijon mustard
Arrange sliced tomatoes on top
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, chopped tarragon
Bake until pastry is brown
Try not to eat the whole tart in one sitting...!

My kids love plum tarts too.

Mash butter, sugar and cinnamon
Unroll pastry
Spread butter mixture evenly over pastry
Roll pastry back up again
Slice into spirals and roll out each spiral just until flat
Cut plums in half and arrange cut face down on paper lined baking sheet (this is a good way to use up rock-hard plums from the supermarket that never properly ripen)
Drape pastry spiral circle over plum halves and mould around the plum so there is a little skirt round the edge of the plum
Bake until pastry is done and plums are soft

Haggis sausage rolls for Burns night, that’s what I’m doing.

Roll out the pastry. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over. Maybe a little paprika too. Cut into long strips. Bake in a hot oven for about 20 mins, take out and leave to cool and you have cheese straws.

Alternatively, roll it out as above and only sprinkle sugar on it. Cut into long strips. Take a strip and curl the left and right of the strip until they meet in the middle.

Repeat until you have curled all the strips. Sprinkle sugar on top of each one.

Bake in a hot oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. You will then have Palmiers aka pigs ears.
