5️⃣ Add Egg Wash
Mix the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
6️⃣ Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffy and golden brown. Allow the turnovers to cool for a few minutes before serving.
7️⃣ Optional Garnishes
-
Dust with powdered sugar for a bakery-style look.
-
Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate for extra indulgence.
-
Serve with fresh strawberry slices on the side for a fresh, fruity touch.
🌟 Tips for Perfect Turnovers
-
Keep ingredients cold: Cold puff pastry and cream cheese make for flakier, more structured turnovers.
-
Don’t overfill: Overfilling can cause the turnovers to leak during baking.
-
Make ahead: Assemble the turnovers and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before baking.
-
Variations: Swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
🥐 Serving Suggestions
