Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into squares, about 4–5 inches each.
- Place a generous spoonful of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each square. Be careful not to overfill.
Step 3: Fold and Seal
- Fold each pastry square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle.
- Press the edges with a fork to seal completely. This ensures the filling stays inside while baking.
- Brush each pocket with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips for Extra Flavor
- Cheese variations: Try a blend of cheddar and mozzarella for an extra gooey filling.
- Add veggies: Diced bell peppers or mushrooms make a great addition.
- Spicy kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the filling.
