Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets pre-made puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup strawberry or raspberry jam
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons holiday-themed sprinkles or edible decorations
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until they are about 1/8-inch thick.
Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal-sized rectangles. For even shapes, you can use a ruler and a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto half of the rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add a dollop of jam (1-2 teaspoons) on top of the cream cheese layer and gently spread it out, being careful not to mix the layers too much.
Place the remaining rectangles of puff pastry on top of the filled pieces, aligning the edges. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges all the way around.
Brush the tops of the tarts with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish during baking. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Transfer the tarts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tarts are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
For a festive touch, decorate the tops of the tarts with holiday-themed sprinkles or edible decorations while they are still slightly warm.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Christmas Morning Breakfast Tarts with a mug of hot cocoa or coffee!
