These irresistible herb and cheese stuffed puff pastry bites are like little clouds of joy bursting with flavor. Ready in just 35 minutes with flaky pastry and creamy herb-infused cheese filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella and cheddar blend)
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs, chopped (parsley, chives, or dill)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheese blend, chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well blended.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut into 3-inch by 3-inch squares.
  4. Place about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each square.
  5. Fold one corner to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press down edges with a fork to seal tightly.
  6. Place stuffed pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush each pastry lightly with egg wash.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold before baking for maximum flakiness. Let cream cheese come to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Seal edges well with a fork to prevent filling from leaking during baking. Don’t overfill the pastries.
  • Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 hours before baking.
