Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
- 200 grams cream cheese (softened)
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 whole egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped chives, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly on a floured surface and cut each sheet into 6 equal squares, giving you 12 squares in total.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto the center of each square.
Fold each pastry square into a triangle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pastry triangles with the egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Place the filled pastry triangles onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.
Remove the Savoury Cheesecake Puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
