Jam & Cream Cheese Pastries

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly beat one egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the jam and cream cheese.

Step 3

Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut into thirds (follow the folds). Cut each 1/3 in half so you have 6 pieces. On one side of a single puff pastry piece, spoon a 1/2 tablespoon of filling in the center (do this on the cookie sheet). Brush the edges with a small amount of egg wash. Fold the other half over the filling. Using a fork, press down on the edges ( only do this on 3 sides, since one side is already sealed). Brush the top of each pastry with some egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until they start to brown on top.

Step 4

Cool them for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
