EASY STRAWBERRY PASTRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam until smooth and creamy.
• Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into four rectangles. Press firmly along the triangle perforations to seal. Place rectangles on an ungreased baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper).
• Divide cream cheese mixture evenly between the four pieces of dough, spreading on one half of each rectangle and leaving a thin border around the edges. Arrange strawberry slices on top of cream cheese mixture, using about 1 1/2 strawberries per pastry (or whatever fits).
• Fold dough over filling so that edges meet, and press along edges firmly with a fork to seal. Brush top of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut three diagonal slits on surface of each pastry.
• Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until pastries are a deep golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack and cool pastries for 10 minutes before removing with a spatula and serving warm.

STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST PASTRIES

Steps:

• Thaw puff pastry according to directions on package and halfway through thawing preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• While puff pastry is thawing, in a small bowl and using a rubber spatula, mix together cream cheese, jam and food coloring while pressing mixture along bottom and sides of bowl to smooth large lumps.
• Transfer to refrigerator until ready to use (so it's not runny, you can flash chill in freezer if you prepared this near the end of the pastry thawing).
• Cut pastry into heart shapes using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter (space them as close together as possible so you can get as many as you can out of the sheet).
• Transfer hearts to a baking sheet lined with a silicone liner or parchment paper, spacing 1 1/2-inches apart.
• Using a sharp pairing knife, lightly score a heart inside of each cut-out heart coming about 1/3-inch from the edge, without cutting entirely through bottom of the dough.
• Add 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture to center of each heart then spread outward without covering the 1/3-inch edge.
• Add strawberries over cream cheese layer, again without covering the edge. Using your fingertip brush the 1/3-inch edge with egg/water mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven 14 - 15 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack then dust with powdered sugar. Serve the day they are prepared.
