Directions

- Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut into squares (about 3 x 3 inches).
- Use a fork to prick holes in the center of each square.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the cottage cheese filling in the center of each pastry square. Place a cherry half in the center of the filling. Sprinkle the edges of the pastry with coarse sugar if desired.
- Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Transfer to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
