Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 oz Cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Crumbled farmers cheese
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Mix in the cream cheese until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix the shredded Swiss cheese, crumbled farmers cheese, sour cream, and chopped chives until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

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

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles of dough.

Step 7

Place a teaspoon of the cheese filling in the center of each circle. Fold each circle in half to form a crescent and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative look.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 9

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each one.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle the baked pastries with a pinch of paprika for garnish.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these savory delights!
