Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 200 grams cream cheese (softened)
• 100 grams feta cheese (crumbled)
• 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly to even out their thickness.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 5

Place a heaping tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 6

Fold each square into a triangle by bringing two opposite corners together, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal them.

Step 7

Transfer the assembled pastries to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each pastry.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.

Step 9

Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a delicious vegetarian treat!
