Ingredients

• 1 (17.3-ounce) package puff pastry, thawed
• 1 (5.2-ounce) package semisoft cheese with fine herbs
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

Step 1

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

On a lightly floured surface unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Roll into an 11-inch square. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut circles from sheet. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry.

Place half of the circles on prepared baking sheet. Spoon 2 teaspoons semisoft cheese into the center of each circle; brush edges of pastry circles on baking sheet with some of a lightly beaten egg.

Top each circle with one of the remaining circles. Using the tines of a fork, seal edges of circles completely. Brush with the remaining lightly beaten egg. Bake about 20 minutes or until tops are golden. Serve warm.
