Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 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 mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are smooth and flat.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 8 equal squares, giving you a total of 16 squares.
Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the herb and garlic mixture in the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.
Brush the tops of the triangles with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish during baking.
Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the triangles are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
