Ingredients
  • 1 puff pastry sheet
  • flour (for flouring the surface where you roll the puff pastry)
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • 6 oz red pepper jelly
  • Optional: fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
  1. Leave the puff pastry sheet at room temp for 15 minutes. Then carefully unfold and lay flat on a floured surface. Roll the puff pastry sheets with a rolling pin lightly and cut the sheet into 12 equal pieces.

  2. Spray a muffin tin with the non stick spray and put a puff pastry piece in each, push them in slightly. Put in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes (depending on how crisp you want them).

    Note: If they puff up too much just use a spoon to push the center down slightly.

  3. Spoon the cream cheese in each puff pastry piece and a spoonful of the red pepper jelly over the cream cheese. Put back into the 400 degree oven for 6 to 8 more minutes.

  4. Let them cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tins. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired.
