Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a flat patty, approximately the size of your cheese slices.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 2 minutes on each side, just enough to brown them but not fully cook them. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, yielding 8 squares total.
Place a patty onto the center of 4 of the puff pastry squares. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of Dijon mustard.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry squares with a beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. This will act as the glue.
Place the remaining 4 squares of puff pastry on top of each burger patty, aligning the edges. Press the edges firmly together using your fingers or a fork to seal.
Transfer the sealed puff pastry burgers onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with more of the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flaky and flavorful puff pastry cheeseburgers!
