Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams cheddar cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, chopped jalapeño, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to slightly thin them out. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, yielding 8 squares in total.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheese filling in the center of each pastry square.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash, then fold them diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash to help them achieve a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these hot and flaky Awesome Blowouts!
