Indulge in these flaky, cheesy breakfast beef pastry puffs for an easy morning win! Quick to make, irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1/2 pound
- • Onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Cream cheese: 1/2 cup, softened
- • Sharp cheddar cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- • Puff pastry sheets: 2, thawed
- • Egg: 1, beaten (for egg wash)
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- 3 Stir in the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the beef is well-coated with the spices. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- 4 In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Add the slightly cooled beef mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
- 5 Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares.
- 6 Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold each square over diagonally to form a triangle, sealing the edges with a fork.
- 7 Transfer the pastry puffs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- 9 Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory pastry puffs pair beautifully with a simple side salad or a fresh fruit bowl, balancing out the indulgent flavors with a touch of freshness. For a complete breakfast feast, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs or a refreshing smoothie. As for beverages, a rich, bold coffee or a creamy chai latte would complement the savory and cheesy notes perfectly. If you're hosting a brunch, a sparkling mimosa could add a festive touch to the meal.
Storage Tips
To store leftover pastry puffs, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap each puff in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag to freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, thaw frozen puffs in the refrigerator overnight, then warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. This will help maintain their crispiness.
