Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 package (1 lb) thawed frozen puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Broccoli Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli, sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

      Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Use a rolling pin to gently roll out each sheet into a larger rectangle. Cut each sheet into 3-inch squares.

        Fill the Pastries: Place about 1 tablespoon of the broccoli mixture in the center of each pastry square. Be careful not to overfill to avoid leakage during baking.

          Seal the Pastries: Fold each pastry square over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for an added touch and to ensure they are well sealed.

            Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a golden brown color when baking.

              Bake: Place the filled and sealed puff pastries onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, let them cool slightly on a wire rack. If desired, garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!
