Brush the edges of each pastry square with a little water to help them stick.
Fold the pastry over the filling diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Use a sharp knife to cut small slits on the top of each pocket to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 5: Apply Egg Wash
Brush the tops of the assembled pockets evenly with the beaten egg. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.
Step 6: Bake the Pockets
Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes , or until the puff pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the pockets from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as-is or with a side of dipping sauce like ranch, marinara, or honey mustard.
