Puffy Cheeseburgers
Bite-sized cheeseburgers baked in golden, flaky puff pastry. BOOM!
Ingredients
3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
3/4 cup ground beef
1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
1/4 cup minced white onion
3 slices of American cheese, cut into thirds (9 pieces, total)
9 dill pickle chips
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Dust your cutting board (or your clean counter) with all-purpose flour and roll out your pastry sheet to a 9-inch square. Cut the sheet into 3 pieces lengthwise, then make 2 more equal cuts the other way, yielding 9 pieces.
Combine ground beef and Thousand Island dressing.
In the middle of one pastry square, add a little over 1 tablespoon of ground beef mixture, followed by a sprinkle of minced onion and a piece of American cheese. Top with one dill pickle chip.
Brush a small border of egg wash along the edge of the pastry. Lift each pastry corner up to the middle over the filling, and pinch all sides together so your filling is completely sealed inside.
Repeat with the other 8 pastry squares and transfer them all to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Apply a thin layer of egg wash onto each pastry. Sprinkle the top of each with sesame seeds.
Bake at 400 for 23 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
