Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup milk (adjust as needed)
- A handful of chopped jalapeños
- 2–3 onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Chopped spring onions
For the Pastry:
- Puff pastry sheets
Instructions
- Sauté the onions in a little oil until they’re soft and golden brown.
- This gives them a rich, sweet flavor that makes the filling irresistible.
- Add the grated cheeses to a saucepan and gently heat on low.
- Slowly stir in the milk until you get a thick, gooey sauce.
- Stir in the cooked onions, jalapeños, garlic powder, black pepper, and spring onions.
- Mix well and let the filling cool completely.
- Roll out your puff pastry and cut it into circles.
- Place a spoonful of the cheesy filling in the center of each one.
- Brush the edges with a little water, then top with another pastry circle.
- Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork for that classic puff pastry look.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg or milk for a golden finish.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
