ingredients

  • 1 Puff Pastry
  • 1/2 Avocado Sliced and then slices cut in half
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Cut into thin slices
  • 1/2 jalapeños Jalapeño Diced
  • 1/3 cup Cherry Tomatoes Quartered
  • 1/4 cup Monterrey Jack Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, slightly roll out the puff pastry into a square. Cut the square into 3 strips horizontally, then cut 4 strips vertically to make little rectangles.
  • Beat together egg and water in a small bowl to form an egg wash.
  • In a small bowl, stir together jalapeño, cherry tomatoes, Monterey jack cheese, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  • Place 2 half slices of avocado on half of the rectangles. Top with a slice of cream cheese. Top this with a spoonful of the cherry tomato mixture.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash. Top each filled puff pastry slice with another, pinching the edges together to form a pop tart shape. Use a form to press the edges in and firmly seal.
  • Place on baking sheet and brush tops with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
