Ingredients

• 2 pieces frozen puff pastry sheets
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then chop them into small pieces.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth out creases.

Step 6

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, for a total of 8 squares.

Step 7

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the broccoli-cheese mixture onto the center of each square.

Step 8

Fold the square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the pockets with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Place the pockets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pockets are golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
