Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- ½ lb ground meat (250 g)
- 1 cup of grated cheese (about 4 oz or 115 g)
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
- ¼ cup of chopped parsley (about 15 g)
- ½ teaspoon of salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling
First, preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then, in a large bowl, combine the minced meat, shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Assemble the Pastry
Next, roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
After that, cut the sheet into equal-sized squares.
Then, place a spoonful of the meat and cheese filling in the center of each square.
Afterward, brush the edges of each square with a bit of beaten egg.
Then, fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together firmly to seal.
Bake the Pastries
Next, brush the tops of the sealed pastries with more beaten egg to help them turn golden while baking.
Then, place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
After that, bake them in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Finally, remove the pastries from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serving
Lastly, serve the pastries warm and enjoy their rich, savory flavors with melted cheese and perfectly seasoned meat.
Helpful Preparation Tips
- First, prepare all your ingredients before starting. Make sure the meat is well-seasoned and the cheese is already shredded.
- Then, handle the puff pastry gently. If it’s frozen, let it thaw properly. If it’s fresh, keep it cold to preserve its flaky texture.
Pro Cooking Tips
- Before baking, always preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Additionally, brushing the tops with beaten egg helps create a shiny and appetizing crust that adds visual appeal.
