Puff Pastry Snacks

Step 1

Unfold thawed frozen puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into pieces just large enough to wrap around your food (see below) with a 1/2-inch overlap. Wrap, moisten the edge with water and pinch to seal.

Step 2

Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Whisk 1 egg with 2 tablespoons water; brush on the pastry and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
