Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer and allow them to thaw until they are pliable but still cold (about 10 minutes).
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth the edges, slightly enlarging it. Cut each sheet into 16 equal squares.
Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square into a triangle or bring all four corners into the center to form a pouch. Press lightly to seal the edges or corners.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash over the top of each pastry to give them a golden sheen as they bake.
Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each square for puffing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
