Ingredients:
115g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 sheet (1/2 package) frozen puff pastry, thawed for 10 minutes
1 egg, for the egg wash
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp icing sugar to garnish (optional)
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 180C. Prep the egg wash by beating the egg in a small bowl with a tablespoon of water plus the granulated sugar. Set aside.
Lay out the first sheet of puff pastry and roll out lightly then prick it gently all over with the tines of a fork. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the sheet into 8 equal-sized rectangles.
Next cut the cream cheese into 8 slices. Lay one of these in the centre of each of the puff pastry rectangles.
Fold in the corners on each side of the cheese and brush the pastry with egg wash. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking tray then transfer to the centre of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Sprinkle with icing sugar, allow to cool slightly and serve.
