- 1 egg (for egg wash, lightly beaten)
- 100 g cream cheese or ricotta (optional for filling)
- 100 g cooked chicken, ham, or sautéed vegetables (choose your favorite filling)

- Herbs or spices (like oregano, chili flakes, or parsley – optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into small squares (around 3×3 inches).
- In a bowl, mix your chosen filling (chicken/ham/veggies) with cream cheese, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over to form a parcel (triangle or rectangle) and press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush each parcel with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
