Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F
  2. Grease a large baking sheet
  3. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the cream and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients for the filling.
  5. Stir in a little more than half of the egg and cream mixture.
  6. Reserve the rest to use as an egg wash
  7. Roll out the puff pastry dough into a very thin square or rectangle.
  8. With a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut the dough into 16 to 20 squares. Divide the filling into an equal number of portions, spooning each portion onto the middle of a square of dough.
  9. Dab a little egg wash on the edges of one square of dough.
  10. Fold the dough over the filling to make either a triangular or rectangular pastry, and press the edges together.
  11. Further seal the pastries by pressing around the edges with the tines of a fork.
  12. Transfer the pastry to the baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining squares of dough.
  13. Note: the pastries may be covered with plastic and placed in the freezer. Once frozen, they can be transferred to a plastic freezer bag or box.
  14. Thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature before baking.
  15. Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash and prick each pastry once or twice with a fork to create steam vents.
  16. Bake the pastries for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  17. Cool on a rack for at least several minutes before serving.
