Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup Peach jelly
  • 2 Peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet. Cut the pastry into squares, aiming for about 4 to 6 squares.
  • Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Step 3: Place the puff pastry squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Score a smaller square inside each pastry, then spoon the cream cheese filling into the center. Top with sliced peaches and drizzle with peach jelly.
  • Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
  • Step 5: Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  • Step 6: Allow the pastries to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.

Notes

Make sure to fully thaw the puff pastry before use. For the best flavor, use ripe peaches. You can substitute with canned peaches if necessary.
