đ©âđł How to Make Them
Step 1: Prep the Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry slightly on a floured surface and cut into squares (about 2Ă2 inches if you want mini puffs). You can make them larger if youâd prefer bigger bites.
Step 2: Add the Filling
Place a small spoonful of your cheese (and optional fillings) in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill!
Step 3: Fold and Seal
Fold each square into a triangle or little pouch and press the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.
Step 4: Brush and Bake
Brush each puff with the beaten egg to get that gorgeous golden color. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15â20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
