Savory Beef Breakfast Pastries
These savory beef breakfast pastries combine spiced beef, caramelized onions, and melted cheese wrapped in flaky puff pastry. They’re ideal for a quick, hearty breakfast or brunch!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 250g ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 100g grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheese until melted and combined.
- Assemble the pastries: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares or rectangles (about 6-8 pieces per sheet).
- Place a generous spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each pastry piece. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle or a circular shape, pressing the edges to seal.
- Egg wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pastry to give it a golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- Serve: Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or your favorite morning beverage.
These pastries are perfect for busy mornings, providing a satisfying balance of savory flavors wrapped in a flaky crust.
