Nacho Cheese Triangles

These were delicious, they oozed with cheese!  I must admit, I did not make my own dough for these.  I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry.  It comes 2 in a package, so either use both at once, or only defrost 1 sheet.  (and such a treat, you got to see the inside of my oven... oh boy!)



Makes 20

1 Sheet Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chunky salsa
Chili powder

• Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature for 40 minutes
• Heat oven to 400 degrees bake
• Beat egg and water in a small bowl
• Stir cheese and salsa in a separate bowl
• Unfold pastry on a lightly floured surface
• Roll the pastry into a 15 x 12 inch rectangle
• Cut into 20 squares (I used a pizza slicer)
• Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square
• Brush the edges of the squares with egg mixture
• Fold the pastry over the filling to form triangles
• Crimp the edges with a fork to seal
• Place triangles onto a baking sheet.  Brush the pastries with the egg mixture and then sprinkle with chili powder
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown
