Ingredients

• 2 puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, cubed
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the vegetable mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth the edges. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in 8 squares total.

Step 5

Spoon a small amount of the vegetable mixture onto the center of a pastry square. Top with a mixture of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Fold the puff pastry diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges with a fork to seal tightly.

Step 7

Brush the tops of each triangle with the beaten egg to create a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8

Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm for a magical meal!
