Easy Raspberry Breakfast Pastries

Puff pastry – Unfold thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured board and roll out into a 12 x 9-inch rectangle. Use a sharp knife to cut the rectangle into 12 squares, and transfer squares to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.

Filling – Combine cream cheese, sugar, honey, salt, vanilla, and almond extract in a food processor; process until smooth.

Transfer mixture to a piping bag, and pipe (or spoon) filling into the center of each square. Top with a spoonful of jam (feel free to use any flavor you love).

Chill pastries – Freeze the squares until the filling is firm (about 90 minutes, or overnight if you’re assembling in advance).

Bake – Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the sides of the pastry lightly with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake pastries for 15 minutes, until tops are golden. Rotate baking sheet and continue baking another 8 to 10 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden (about 25 minutes total).

Let pastries cool a few minutes before serving with a dusting of powdered sugar.
