Savory Puff Pastry with Minced Meat and Cheese

Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft.
Add minced meat, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook until browned.
Stir in tomato paste (if using) for extra flavor. Remove from heat and let cool.
Mix in the shredded cheese once the meat mixture has slightly cooled.
2️⃣ Assemble the Pastries:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares or rectangles.
Place a spoonful of the meat and cheese mixture in the center of each piece.
Fold over the pastry to form triangles, rectangles, or turnovers. Seal the edges with a fork.
3️⃣ Bake:

Whisk the egg and water together, then brush over the pastries for a golden crust.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy!

Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm with yogurt dip, garlic sauce, or ketchup.
