Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Hot pepper jelly
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface, then roll out each puff pastry sheet into a 12x12-inch square.
Cut each sheet into four equal squares (for a total of 8 squares).
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Place about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese in the center of each pastry square.
Spoon 1 teaspoon of hot pepper jelly over the cream cheese on each square.
Fold each square into a triangle, lining up the edges. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges tightly.
Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Using a sharp knife, make two small slits on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
