Baked Cream Cheese & Salmon Pastries with Philadelphia®
- 35min
- Serves 12
250 g Philadelphia Original Soft Cream Cheese
1 tbsp chives
1 whole grated garlic cloves
1 whole lemon (zested)
150 g cured/smoked salmon
1 tbsp chopped dill
1 whole lemon (squeezed)
2 sheets puff pastry
1 whole egg
1 tbsp milk
4 bunches rocket leaves dressed with olive oil and salt
1
Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
2
Whisk the egg with milk to use for the egg wash.
3
Make sure the puff pastry sheet is thawed. Cut each pastry sheet into 10 rectangles.
4
Cut a smaller rectangle in the centre of one of the pieces. Brush a bit of egg wash around the edges of the bottom rectangle which should be whole, and place the rectangle that had the centre cut out right on top.
5
In a bowl mix all ingredients for your cream cheese together (cream cheese, chives, garlic and zested lemon) and mix.
6
Fill the inside with the cream cheese filling.
7
Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
8
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
9
Once cooled, to finish and serve, stack your puff pastry with the dressed rocket salad, and carefully lay the cured salmon over to create a wonderful layered effect.
