Ingredients
- 1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup Pace® Chunky Salsa
- 5 pitted ripe olives, cut into quarters (optional)
- chili powder
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Stir the cheese and salsa in a small bowl.
-
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Cut into 20 (3-inch) squares. Place about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top each with 1 olive piece, if desired. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg mixture. Fold the pastry over the filling to form triangles. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Place the filled pastries onto baking sheets. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the chili powder.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the pastries from the baking sheets and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
