Ingredients

  • Using premade puff pastry makes these bite-size delights simple and easy.
  • 1/2 (7 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
  • 1/2 (8 oz.) pkg. feta cheese
  • 3 scallions
  • 1/4 c. fresh mint leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 Tb. heavy cream
  • 2 pkg. puff pastry

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a food processor, combine cream cheese, feta cheese, scallions, mint, salt, and pepper, and puree until herbs and cheese are well blended. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

3. Make an egg wash by whisking together egg yolk, cream and salt.

4. Defrost puff pastry per directions on package. Using a cookie cutter or cup, cut 10-12 circles into the puff pastry dough (about the size of the palm of your hand). Place a dollop of cheese mixture in the center of each circle. With a brush, paint the outer rim with egg wash. Fold the circle in half and seal the outside rim by pressing with a fork.

5. Place puffs on a greased sheet tray and brush tops with egg wash. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
