Ingredients
- 2 sheets pre-made puff pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup strawberry or raspberry jam
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons holiday-themed sprinkles or edible decorations
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until they are about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 3
Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal-sized rectangles. For even shapes, you can use a ruler and a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto half of the rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Add a dollop of jam (1-2 teaspoons) on top of the cream cheese layer and gently spread it out, being careful not to mix the layers too much.
Step 7
Place the remaining rectangles of puff pastry on top of the filled pieces, aligning the edges. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges all the way around.
Step 8
Brush the tops of the tarts with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish during baking. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Transfer the tarts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tarts are puffed and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Step 11
For a festive touch, decorate the tops of the tarts with holiday-themed sprinkles or edible decorations while they are still slightly warm.
Step 12
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Christmas Morning Breakfast Tarts with a mug of hot cocoa or coffee!
