Feeling Inspired

While home today taking care of a sick M, I was inspired to both be motherly and make him a treat but to also purge some items in the fridge & freezer. So, I made homemade Pop Tarts with puff pastry that has been claiming valuable freezer space!

So easy & really delicious!

Ingredients

Puff Pastry
Cream Cheese
Jam

Unroll the puff pastry and use a cookie cutter or glass to cut round shapes. Make sure you have an even number and then lay half the rounds on parchment on a baking tray. Put a dollop of cream cheese (maybe a tablespoon) on the centre and spread it a bit. Add a bit (maybe a teaspoon) of jam (I used raspberry) and spread it slightly. Add another round of pastry, crimp the edges with a fork and then brush milk across the top. Put an X in the centre before popping them into a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

M and I both loved them and they were a perfect afternoon treat!
