Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 4 medium jalapenos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your countertop with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut each pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, for a total of 8 squares.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Wash the jalapenos, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder filling (leave some seeds if you prefer extra spice). Finely dice the jalapenos.
Fold the diced jalapenos into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the jalapeno cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold the pastry squares in half diagonally to create a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges together firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges and ensure a tight seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of each pastry to promote golden browning.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the Spicy Jalapeno Envelopes to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
