Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry Ensure it's cold before baking for optimal flakiness.

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Can be substituted with ricotta or mascarpone.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (e.g., Mozzarella, Cheddar) Feel free to experiment with other cheeses.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (e.g., parsley, chives) Substitute with dried herbs if fresh is unavailable.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used as an alternative.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, your choice of shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out thawed puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch squares.
  4. Place about one tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold corners towards the center to create a triangle shape and press edges to seal.

  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool for a few minutes before serving warm with marinara or pesto.
