Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is soft and fragrant. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the cooled beef mixture until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares for a total of 16 squares.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheeseburger filling onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square over into a triangle, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork. Ensure the edges are tightly closed to prevent filling from leaking out.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg to give them a golden shine during baking. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an added burger-like touch.
Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Let the Mini Cheeseburger Puffs cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!
