Ingredients
1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or chives, finely chopped)
1 cup sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach, or your choice)
1 egg (beaten with water for egg wash)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded cheese, sautéed vegetables, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
You can sauté your choice of vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach) until soft, or use leftovers to save time.
-
-
Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
-
Assemble the Pastries: Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over the filling, then press the edges together with a fork to seal.
-
Add the Egg Wash: Brush the pastries with a beaten egg wash (egg mixed with a little water) to give them a golden, crispy finish.
-
Bake the Pastries: Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Let the pastries cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Fillings: You can use a variety of fillings like sautéed mushrooms, bacon, sausage, or spinach to suit your preferences. Get creative with different combinations!
- Cheese: Feta, goat cheese, or gruyère can be substituted for cheddar or mozzarella to add new flavors.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or refrigerate them for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes to restore their crispiness.
