Another fridge / freezer standby which looks as though you went to a lot of effort (when you didn't):
Defrost frozen puff pastry and roll out into a rectangle. (A wine bottle will do if you don't have a rolling pin.)
Scatter with crumbled feta (or goat) cheese, cherry tomatoes, torn basil leaves, s&p, drizzle with olive oil and sling it into a hot oven for 10 minutes or until the pastry is cooked. Serve with a rocket salad.
Variations on this could include peppers, olives, anchovies, blue cheese, Serrano ham, roasted onions, mushrooms, chorizo...

I do one very similar which is sweat tons of white onion and garlic till soft and sweet then scatter over pastry sheet. Cover with sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with cheese then bake. LushAnother fridge / freezer standby which looks as though you went to a lot of effort (when you didn't):

Goat's cheese tarts - place a round of goat's cheese in the middle of a square of pastry, egg wash round the edge and pinch it together around the sides, sprinkle some thyme on top. Then bake for 20 minutes or so. 
These are also very nice with a spoonful of pesto on top of the goats cheese and then wrap the cheese/pesto completely in the pastry to make a little parcel.The puff pastry is also nice for a mushroom and blue cheese tart. Just fry up a nice mixture of mushrooms in butter for 10 - 15 mins and then spread them out over the pastry, break up the cheese over the top and stick it in the oven for 15 - 20 mins. Works well with red onion and parmesan as well.
Apple strudel:
Mix 2 cored and diced cooking apples in a bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice, then add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, a good handful of raisins, some flaked almonds if you have them, and sugar to taste.
Spread the filling in the middle of the rolled out pastry sheet, and top with a few small pieces of cold butter (little fingernail sized). Roll it up, seal the edges, cut 3 slashes on the top to allow the steam to escape, and bake in the centre of a moderate-hot oven for 40 minutes, checking after 30.
If you like you can brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle on some sugar before baking.
Assembled but uncooked, the strudels freeze well wrapped in cling film.
