Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 5 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

Step 3

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to chill.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to create the savory filling. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.

Step 7

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the savory filling onto the center of each circle.

Step 8

Fold each circle in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges and ensure a tight seal.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the egg wash lightly over the surface of each pastry to promote a golden, flaky finish.

Step 11

Place the prepared pastries onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
