1 package puff pastry sheets
20 (1-inch) slices Cheddar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

I'll pass, thank you.

It might be easy if you've worked with phyllo dough before, but i hadn't. it dries out really quickly if you don't get the... warm butter on it. i found this process stressful. also, they must be served warm or hot. they fall flat when cold. i would not make this again but it has inspired me to figure out another recipe to make the concept work.Read more

Average at Best
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I really didn't like this. The Puff Pastry was just too much pastry. They looked cute, but I would not make these again. ... We actually threw 6 of them away. Couldn't stand the thought of having them for leftovers.Read more

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is absolutely delicious! I even tried it with ground turkey instead of ground chuck, and it turned out... wonderful. The seasonings combined with the onion tucked inside puff pastry makes this recipe a delight!!Read more
