    A simple glaze on top makes these treats irresistible, and you won't be able to wait to sink your teeth into these tasty breakfast pastries.

    Strawberry cheesecake turnovers are a great breakfast pastry. Packed with a crisp and buttery puff pastry shell, filled with a creamy rich filling, and then topped with a sweet glaze on top- it's like dessert for breakfast.

    They're not only nice to look at and tasty to eat, but so simple to make as well! I love these strawberry and cream turnovers because it's as simple as 3 ingredients. The glaze and eggwash aren't "technically" needed but we all know the egg wash gives the golden color that draws our eyes while the glaze gives us something to lick our lips about.

    Whether you keep this strawberry turnovers recipe plain and simple or add the eggwash and glaze is your choice, but you really can't go wrong when using your favorite strawberry jam and cream cheese.
