Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 6 pies
Ingredients
  • One 450 g package puff pastry sheets (2 sheets per pack), thawed
  • ½ a package cream cheese (125g ), softened, sliced into 6 slices
  • 150 g smoked salmon
  • 18 cucumber slices
  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Roll out puff pastry sheets; keep the parchment paper they came in and use it to line a baking tray; set aside.
  3. Cut each pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles. Place 6 of those rectangles onto the prepared baking tray, and baste with egg.
  4. Evenly top with smoked salmon, cucumber slices, cream cheese, and a generous sprinkle of fresh dill. Leave a ½-inch border around the edges.
  5. Lay the remaining 6 rectangles on top, stretching if necessary to make sure the filling is covered by puff pastry. Use a fork to press and seal the edges. Poke a few holes in the top, allowing for steam to escape, and baste generously with egg.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
