Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 120 grams cream cheese
• 2 small garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)
• 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are smooth and flat.

Step 5

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 8 equal squares, giving you a total of 16 squares.

Step 6

Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the herb and garlic mixture in the center of each square.

Step 7

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra decorative touch.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the triangles with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish during baking.

Step 9

Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the triangles are puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
