Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Dried parsley
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar cheese, and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined.
Add garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture, stirring until evenly incorporated.
Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases and slightly enlarge it.
Cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, creating a total of 12 pieces from the 2 sheets.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of 6 of the rectangles, leaving space around the edges.
In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry rectangles with the egg wash.
Place the remaining 6 rectangles over the ones with the filling, aligning the edges. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork.
Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash for a glossy finish.
Melt the unsalted butter and use a pastry brush to coat the tops lightly with butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Buttery Puffs warm!
