Broccoli and Cheese Hand Pies
Broccoli and Cheese Hand Pies are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. These hand pies are a great way to enjoy the classic combination of broccoli and cheese in a portable and convenient form.
To make these hand pies, you will need the following ingredients per serving: 1 sheet of puff pastry, 1/2 cup of chopped broccoli, 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of cream cheese, 1 egg, and salt and pepper to taste.
To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into four equal squares. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spoon the broccoli and cheese mixture onto one half of each puff pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the other half of the puff pastry over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative pattern.
Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with a beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
When finished, the Broccoli and Cheese Hand Pies will have a flaky and buttery crust with a creamy and cheesy filling. The broccoli adds a fresh and healthy element to the dish, while the cheddar cheese provides a rich and savory flavor. These hand pies are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or as a party appetizer.
