Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 egg (plus 1 for egg wash)
- 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or your favorite)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)
- Garlic Herb Sea Salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, cream cheese, and one egg until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the grated cheese and chopped herbs.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles.
- Assemble the Pastries: Place a small spoonful of the cheese and herb mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with an egg wash (beaten egg) and sprinkle with Garlic Herb Sea Salt.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature for a savory treat that’s sure to disappear quickly!
