Cream cheese and blueberry turnovers

Cream cheese and blueberry turnovers are a delightful pastry treat combining the creamy texture of cheese with the sweet and tangy flavor of blueberries. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a delicious snack, these turnovers are quick, easy to make, and sure to impress!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g
1/2 cup blueberries
72g
1 yolk
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3. Prepare the Pastry:
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases. Cut the sheet into 4 equal squares.
4. Assemble the Turnovers:
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
- Add a few blueberries (about 1 tablespoon) on top of the cream cheese mixture for each square.

5. Fold and Seal:
- Fold each square over diagonally to form a triangle.
- Use the tines of a fork to press and seal the edges of each triangle together, ensuring the filling doesn't spill out during baking.
6. Brush with Egg Yolk:
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of each turnover with the beaten egg yolk. This will give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.
7. Bake:
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the turnovers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure the puff pastry is well-chilled before working with it to make it easier to handle.

- Don't overfill the turnovers to avoid any filling spillage during baking.

- Seal the edges of the turnovers securely using a fork to prevent them from opening while baking.

- Brush the turnovers with the egg yolk for a golden and shiny finish.

- Allow the turnovers to cool slightly before serving to avoid any burns from the hot filling.

In just a few simple steps, you can create these creamy, fruity turnovers that are sure to please any crowd. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or at room temperature, cream cheese and blueberry turnovers are a delectable homemade treat that showcases sweetness, tanginess, and buttery goodness in every bite.
