Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla and mix until well combined.

Cut the sheet of puff pastry into 6 rectangles. Use a fork to prick the centers of the rectangles, leaving 1⁄2 inch border unpriked around the edges.

Brush the edges with beaten egg. Spread cream cheese mixture into the center of rectangles and arrange strawberry slices on top.

Bake for 15-­18 minutes until golden brown.

Cool completely to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
