1
tsp

1/3
cup

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F
Make your cheese mix by mixing cream cheese with sugar, salt, and vanilla. Set aside.
Unroll your puff pastry from the packaging and lay flat.
Cut into 6 even pieces.
Using a fork, stab the center area of each plank of puff pastry to prevent the center filling area to puff too much and risk your filling oozing out.
Divide cheese filling among 6 puff pastry planks. Leave about a 1/2 inch border along each puff plank.
Top the cheese with~1 tbsp of fruit jam/preserves.
Brush the edges of the puff with heavy cream to help browning, egg for shine, or a mix of both for browning and shine.
Bake for about ~15 minutes, until puffed on the edges and golden brown.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes and enjoy!
