Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets (about 9x9 inches each) Puff pastry sheets
- 150 grams (grated) Cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet slightly to ensure it's even and thin.
In a bowl, mix the grated cheddar cheese with paprika powder, pepper, and salt.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into two equal rectangles, making a total of four rectangles.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the four pastry rectangles, placing the cheese on one half of each rectangle.
Fold the other half of each rectangle over the cheese filling, creating a pocket. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over each kaasbroodje to give them a golden finish when baked.
Using a sharp knife, make a few diagonal slits on the top of each kaasbroodje to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the kaasbroodjes on the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your warm and cheesy Dutch kaasbroodje!
