Heart-Shaped Strawberry Puff Pastries
Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Fresh strawberries, sliced
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out an even number of hearts.
3. Assemble Pastries: Place half of the hearts on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam in the center of each heart, leaving the edges clean.
4. Top with Strawberries: Place a slice of fresh strawberry on top of the jam.
5. Seal and Decorate: Use the remaining pastry hearts to cover the filled ones. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
6. Egg Wash: Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the top of each pastry for a golden finish. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
7. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the pastries cool slightly before serving.
