Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • Flour (for rolling)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup red berry preserves

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease muffin tin.
  • Dust countertop and rolling pin with flour and roll out puff pastry gently. You can skip this step if you prefer.
  • Cut pastry dough into equal squares - one sheet should make 9. Transfer squares to the parchment paper, or press gently into muffin tin wells.
  • Using a round biscuit or cookie cutter, press into the center of each square but NOT all the way through. This is creating a spot to put your filling, and allow the pastry to rise better. (Skip this step if you are using a muffin tin.)
  • Spread 2 teaspoons of cream cheese onto each square, using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread it to the edges of the circle. If using a muffin tin, just spread as evenly as you can in the pastry.
  • Top the cream cheese with a dollop of preserves.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
  • Leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days and reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
