Pepper Cheese Cocktail Puffs
Prep and Bake Time: 30 minutes
Yield: Makes about 20 appetizers
Ingredients:
1/2
package (17-1/4 ounces) frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
1
tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2
cup (2 ounces) finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1
teaspoon cracked black pepper
1
egg
1
tablespoon water
Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease baking sheets.
2.
Roll out 1 sheet puff pastry dough on well floured surface to 14x10-inch rectangle. Spread half of dough (from 10-inch side) with mustard. Sprinkle with cheese and pepper. Fold dough over filling; roll gently to seal edges.
3.
Cut lengthwise into 3 strips; cut each strip diagonally into 1-1/2-inch pieces. Place on prepared baking sheets. Beat egg and water in small bowl; brush onto appetizers.
4.
Bake appetizers 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and deep golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to wire rack; cool.
Tip:
Work quickly and efficiently when using puff pastry. The colder puff pastry is, the better it will puff in the hot oven. This recipe can be easily doubled.
