Course Appetizer, dinner, Main Course
Servings 9 hand pies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box of frozen puff pastry thawed (one box comes with 2 sheets of puff pastry)
  • 3 cups roughly chopped broccoli florets
  • 2 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese save the extra ¼ cup for the end
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • Olive oil
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Coat a skillet with olive oil, and place on medium heat on the stove. Add the onion, and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Then, add in the broccoli and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the 2 cups of cheddar cheese (leaving ¼ cup to the side), Monterey Jack, cream cheese, garlic, and cayenne. Stir until cheese is melted. Pepper to taste and remove from heat.
  • Lay out the pastry sheets and roll out slightly to thin. Cut each pastry sheet into 9 pieces (3x3). Evenly split the broccoli filling onto one sheet of the pastry dough, leaving about ¼” around the edges. Beat the egg, then brush the edges of the pastry sheets with egg. Take the 9 squares from the second pastry sheet, and cover the squares with filling.
  • Press the edges together with the backside of a fork.
  • Brush egg over the tops of the pastries. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, with a pinch of pepper.
  • Place the pockets on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy!
