Description

Imagine this: warm, flaky pastry filled with a creamy, cheesy mix of savory onions and a little jalapeño heat. These are the ultimate crowd-pleasers, or just a treat-yourself snack! Let’s dive right in:


Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. Sauté the onions in a little oil until they’re soft and golden brown.
  2. This gives them a rich, sweet flavor that makes the filling irresistible.
  3. Add the grated cheeses to a saucepan and gently heat on low.
  4. Slowly stir in the milk until you get a thick, gooey sauce.
  5. Stir in the cooked onions, jalapeños, garlic powder, black pepper, and spring onions.
  6. Mix well and let the filling cool completely.
  7. Roll out your puff pastry and cut it into circles.
  8. Place a spoonful of the cheesy filling in the center of each one.
  9. Brush the edges with a little water, then top with another pastry circle.
  10. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork for that classic puff pastry look.
  11. Brush the tops with beaten egg or milk for a golden finish.
  12. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
