Ingredients
Turnovers
- 1 package puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets) ($6.24)
- 6 tablespoons strawberry jam ($0.60)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened ($0.47)
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg ($0.15)
- 1 teaspoon water ($0.00)
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar ($0.36)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.01)
- 1-2 tablespoons milk ($0.02)
Instructions
- Preheat and prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Cut the pastry. Roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut each sheet into squares using a pizza cutter, for a total of 6 squares.
- Fill the turnovers. Place about 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam in the center of each square. Cut the cream cheese into 6 equal pieces and place one piece on top of the jam.
- Fold and seal. Fold one corner of each pastry square over to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press the edges to seal, then crimp with a fork.
- Apply egg wash. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash.
- Bake. Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool slightly. Let the turnovers cool on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Glaze and serve. Whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the turnovers. Let set for about 5 minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot when fresh from the oven.
Notes
- Pastry tip. Fully thawed puff pastry is essential for easy shaping and proper rise.
- Filling options. Jam, jelly, or preserves all work, whether store-bought or homemade.
- Sealing. Crimp the edges well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Storage. Store turnovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
- Reheating. Reheat in 15-second intervals in the microwave until warmed.
- Freezing. Freeze cooled turnovers on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
