Ingredients

• 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Dried parsley
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar cheese, and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Add garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture, stirring until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases and slightly enlarge it.

Step 6

Cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, creating a total of 12 pieces from the 2 sheets.

Step 7

Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the center of 6 of the rectangles, leaving space around the edges.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry rectangles with the egg wash.

Step 9

Place the remaining 6 rectangles over the ones with the filling, aligning the edges. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork.

Step 10

Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Melt the unsalted butter and use a pastry brush to coat the tops lightly with butter.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Buttery Puffs warm!
