Savory Turnovers

Ingredients:

1 package of frozen puff pastry sheets

1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon of water for egg wash

Fillings:

Smoked ham, finely chopped (you can do a few pulses in the food processor)

Mozzarella / Gruyere / Gouda / Cheddar or any good melting cheese, shredded

Mix of ricotta, shredded feta cheese and wilted spinach

Preparation:

 Roll the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a floured surface and cut into squares.

Lightly brush the borders of each square with the egg wash.

 Drop a spoonful of the filling onto each square and fold in half, or crosswise, or cover with another square. 

 You can do different shapes for the different fillings(squares, triangles, rectangles). 

 Crimp tightly all along the edge where the two sheets come together.

 Transfer each turnover to a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicon mat, keeping them 1” apart.

 Refrigerate while the oven preheats to 450F.

 Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and puffed.

 Let it cool for 15 minutes as the fillings will be hot, and enjoy!

 Note: You can prepare the turnovers in advance and keep them in your freezer for a couple of weeks, stored in Ziplock bags. Let them thaw on the counter while the oven is preheating. Brush with egg wash and bake as per the instructions.

 These savory turnovers are perfect for grabbing breakfast on the go.
