Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Spray baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry on well floured surface to 14 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread half of dough from 10-inch side with mustard. Sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Fold dough over filling; roll edges gently to seal.

Cut lengthwise into 3 strips; cut each strip diagonally into 11/2-inch pieces. Place on prepared baking sheets. Beat egg and water in small bowl; brush onto appetizers.

Bake appetizers 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and deep golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to wire rack; cool.
Tip: Work quickly and efficiently when using puff pastry. The colder puff pastry is. the better it will puff in the hot oven.
