Blueberry, Mint Chocolate & Cheese Puff Pastry Triangles

This is a quick dessert and was born at the spur of the moment. I wanted to use a remaining sheet of puff pastry, so decided to scrounge around inside my ref for the filling. I decided on fresh blueberries, mint chocolate and cheese.  Make the filling, put it on one side of the pastry, fold the puff pastry over it to make triangles and bake it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and demerara sugar. Serve it hot from the oven, with a scoop of ice cream. Mmmmmmm!




BLUEBERRY, MINT CHOCOLATE & CHEESE PUFF PASTRY TRIANGLES
Serves 4

1 sheet of puff pastry
1/2 cup of fresh blueberries
1/4 cup of grated cheese (I used Jack, because that's what I had in my ref!)
1/4 cup chopped mint chocolate (a leftover from Christmas!)
Cinnamon powder
Demerara sugar
1 egg, beaten

PROCEDURE:

1. Make the filling by mixing the blueberries, chopped chocolate, grated cheese in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

2.  Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal square pieces. Brush each sheet with the beaten egg. Put filling on one side of the pastry and fold over the other side to make a triangle. Make sure the filling reaches the ends of the triangle so that each bite will have some filling.  Crimp the edges with a fork. Brush the outside of the triangles with beaten egg. Sprinkle with cinnamon and demerara sugar. Poke holes into the pastry with a fork.


3.  Bake in a preheated oven at 400F for about 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and is golden brown.  You may cut each triangle into half, to show off the filling. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
