Truffle Cheese Puff Pastry

Truffle cheese pastry puffs

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon truffle salt
1 tablespoon truffle salsa
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
8 oz cheddar cheese, cubed
1 egg lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. 

Butter a baking pan. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, salt, and truffle salsa until well blended and set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out sheet of puff pastry 1/8-inch thick; Cut the puff pastry into 3 inch squares (approximately 16 squares).

Spread the truffle cream cheese on each square evenly (about ½ Tbsp per square).  Place a cube of cheddar in the center of each square.  Brush the edges of the square with the egg mixture. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and crimp the edges with a fork to seal them together.   

Place the filled pastry triangles on the baking sheet and brush them with the egg mixture.  Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.  Serve hot.
