Ingredients
- 1 package of puff pastry, thawed
- 200 grams of cheese (feta, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, crumble the cheese into the skillet and mix in the chopped parsley or cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into squares, approximately 10×10 cm (4×4 inches).
- Place a small spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each square. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle and press the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an added decorative touch.
- Transfer the samosas to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the samosas are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheese puff pastry samosas!
