Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup low sodium canned sardines
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheets
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 unit egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain the canned sardines thoroughly and place them in a mixing bowl. Break the sardines into small pieces using a fork.
Add lemon juice, chopped green onions, black pepper, garlic powder, and cream cheese to the sardines. Mix until well combined to form a smooth filling.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to ensure it's even. Cut the sheet into 6 equal squares.
Place a dollop of the sardine mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Press the edges gently to seal and crimp with a fork.
Transfer the puffs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the puffs with beaten egg using a pastry brush to get a beautiful golden finish during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the puff pastries are golden and flaky.
Allow the sardine puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
