Everything that comes in puff pastry form is delicious, don't you agree? It's hard to go wrong, especially when you can buy the frozen puff pastry at the grocery store - they are very easy to find this time of year. These are hard to resist and easy to make! Enjoy!
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 18 Pastries
Ingredients:
1 lb store bought frozen/refrigerated Puff Pastry
¾ Cups (6 ounces) Cream Cheese
¾ Cups Strawberry Preserves/Jam
5 Tbsp Green Chile, diced
1 Egg, beaten
Sugar, enough for sprinkling top of pastries
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Remove your puff pastry from the freezer, let stand 10 minutes. Remove and plastic and place on a surface for cutting.
Remove the Cream Cheese from the refrigerator and let soften.
Place the beaten egg in a small dish to be used later.
Puff pastries should come in two sheets of about 11X11 inch pieces. Cut each 11X11 sheet into 9 smaller square pieces. Use a pizza cutter.
Mix the softened cream cheese with the strawberry preserves. Add the green chile.
Once mixed well, place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the middle of each pastry. (If the mixture becomes too soft, place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.)
To seal and close the puff pastry, brush the edges of the pastry with water and fold in half making a triangle. Then press the edges together with a fork, sealing the pastry.
Once you have folded all the puff pastries, brush the top of each pastry with the egg.
Sprinkle the top of each pastry with sugar.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown on top. Let cool for 10 minutes before eating.
