Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 can (340g) Spam
- 1 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 block (8oz) cream cheese
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Dice the Spam into small cubes and finely chop the green onions.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced Spam, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined into a thick filling.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly with a rolling pin. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares, making a total of 12 squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the Spam mixture onto the center of each square.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the edges of each puff pastry square with the egg wash.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Transfer the sealed puffs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the Cheesy Spam Puffs from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer!
