Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Sauté the Garlic and Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic until fragrant, then toss in ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally.
Add Cheese and Seasoning: Once the beef is cooked through, stir in grated parmesan cheese along with salt and pepper until well combined. Remove from heat.
Roll Out Puff Pastry Sheets: On a floured surface, roll out thawed puff pastry sheets into squares about 4 inches wide. Cut them evenly for uniform cooking.
Fill and Fold the Pastry Dough: Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each square. Fold over to create triangles or pockets and pinch edges firmly to seal.
Create an Egg Wash Finish: Beat one egg with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over each bomb for that lovely golden color as they bake.
Now you’re ready to pop those beauties into the oven! Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they’re puffed up and gloriously golden brown. The sight alone is mouthwatering!
