  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 croissants

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
  3. Roll out puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  4. Spoon a portion of beef mixture into the center of each square, top with cheese.
  5. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or fold edges inward for a croissant shape, sealing edges well.
  6. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

Notes

  • Ensure the beef mixture is cooled before filling to prevent soggy pastry.
  • You can customize fillings with cooked vegetables or spices.
  • Serve warm with a side salad for a complete brunch.
