Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 50 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely chop the parsley, chives, and garlic, then set them aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth.
Stir in the parsley, chives, garlic, salt, and black pepper into the cheese mixture until well combined.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
Cut the puff pastry into 12 equal squares.
Place a teaspoon of the blue cheese mixture into the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and decoration.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pastry triangles for a golden finish.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
