These Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries are flaky, buttery, and filled with a sweet cream cheese layer and juicy strawberry topping. Perfect for a quick breakfast or an elegant brunch treat, they’re easy to make with store-bought puff pastry!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet (about 250g) puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) strawberry jam or preserves
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Pastry Base:
    • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 6 equal rectangles or squares.
    • Using a knife, lightly score a smaller rectangle about ½ inch inside the edges of each piece, creating a border (don’t cut all the way through). Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
    • In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Assemble the Pastries:
    • Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture inside the scored border of each pastry.
    • Add a teaspoon of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese, spreading it lightly.
    • Sprinkle the diced strawberries over the jam layer.
  • Brush with Egg Wash:
    • Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to help them turn golden during baking.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the pastries to cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a twist, substitute the strawberries with other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
  • If you don’t have fresh fruit, you can use only jam for the filling.
  • Store leftover pastries in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
