Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Crumbled farmers cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix in the cream cheese until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix the shredded Swiss cheese, crumbled farmers cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles of dough.
Place a teaspoon of the cheese filling in the center of each circle. Fold each circle in half to form a crescent and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
Optional: Sprinkle the baked pastries with a pinch of paprika for garnish.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these savory delights!
