Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 28 minutes
Servings: 12 Mini Pastries
Course: Appetizer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet flaky puff pastry defrosted.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno slices
  • 1/3 cup cheese grated finely
  • Butter or oil for greasing

Equipment

  • 1 mini muffin tray

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees fan bake. Lightly grease 12 cups of a mini muffin tray
  2. Cut your defrosted puff pastry sheet into 12 evenly sized rectangles and place each one into one of cups in your prepared muffin tray. Press each piece of pastry firmly into each muffin cup so that you have enough space to add in the fillings with any excess puff pastry left sticking out over the edge.
  3. Layer in your fillings. Start with one teaspoon of cream cheese in each pastry case, then add in a large slice of jalapeno. Press down on the jalapeno so that the cream cheese spreads evenly. Sprinkle your grated cheese on top of each pastry bite.
  4. Bake in your preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melted and crispy.
