Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed but cold)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional)

3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

1 tsp cornstarch (only if using frozen berries)

1 egg

1 tbsp milk

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into rectangles.

4. Spread cream cheese mixture onto half of each rectangle, leaving a border.

5. Toss blueberries with cornstarch (if frozen) and layer over the cream cheese.

6. Fold the pastry over the filling, sealing edges with water and crimping with a fork.

7. Whisk together egg and milk, and brush over the top of each pastry.

8. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

9. Cool slightly on a wire rack, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

10. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep the puff pastry cold to ensure it puffs properly in the oven.

Don’t overfill — a light hand helps avoid bursting.

Egg wash is key for that glossy, bakery-style crust.
