Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla yogurt
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup jam (any flavor)
  • Egg wash: 1 egg white + 1 tsp. water

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease it lightly.
  • Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 squares. Make about 1-inch cuts along two opposite sides of each square, all the way down, about 1/2 inch in thickness.
  • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla, yogurt and sugar with a mixer until light and smooth.
  • Fill the center of the pastry square with cream cheese and then jam over the cream cheese.
  • Braid the edges over the filling, interlocking one strip with it's opposite strip. Go all the way down and fold in the last ones. Repeat with each pastry.
  • Whisk the egg white and water for the egg wash and brush each braided pastry with it.
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden.
