# What You Need:
→ Pastry
01 - 1 package (14 oz) puff pastry sheets, thawed
→ Filling
02 - 5.3 oz guava paste, cut into thin slices
03 - 3.5 oz cream cheese, softened
→ Topping
04 - 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, optional for sprinkling
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Roll out puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 8 equal rectangles for a total of 16 pieces.
03 - Place 8 pastry rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - On each rectangle, layer a thin slice of guava paste and approximately 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese, leaving a clear border around all edges.
05 - Brush edges with water. Top each filled rectangle with remaining pastry pieces and press firmly to seal edges completely.
06 - Use a fork to crimp all edges for a decorative finish. Gently score the tops with a knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
07 - Brush beaten egg over all pastry tops. Sprinkle with granulated sugar if desired.
08 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
09 - Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
