Jam and Cream Cheese Pastries | Girl Gone Gourmet

Warm, flaky jam & cream cheese pastries that are so easy to make thanks to a smart shortcut. These sweet pastry treats are a great way to celebrate the weekend!

Jam & Cream Cheese Pastries

Biting into a warm, flaky, buttery pastry on a Saturday morning is a very nice way to start the weekend, don’t you think? Pre-made puff pastry offers up a world of breakfast possibilities – it’s pretty darn good all on its own, but tucking a little something special inside it makes it extra special. In this case, we’re talking about jam and cream cheese pastries, but there are a lot of other options – think Nutella or chocolate ganache or pastry cream or whatever sounds good to you. The possibilities are endless.

Tips for Making Cream Cheese Pastries

A couple of things to keep in mind:

  • It might be tempting, but don’t overfill the pastries. The filling will leak out, most likely burn, and make your pastries not so pretty.
  • Also, work quickly so the dough stays cool. If the dough starts to get warm and sticky put it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up again.
  • Having everything ready to go when you start will help you work faster, so make sure you have the oven preheated, the cookie sheet lined, egg wash mixed, and a fork at hand.
  • Working quickly with the cold dough will make for light and flaky rolls with lots of layers.

Easy-to-make warm and flaky puff pastry rolls with a jam and cream cheese filling.

  • Author: April @ Girl Gone Gourmet
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 9 pastries 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Bake
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons of cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 & 1/2 tablespoons jam
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly beat one egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. In another small bowl, combine the jam and cream cheese.
  3. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut into thirds (follow the folds). Cut each 1/3 in half so you have 6 pieces. On one side of a single puff pastry piece, spoon a 1/2 tablespoon of filling in the center (do this on the cookie sheet). Brush the edges with a small amount of egg wash. Fold the other half over the filling. Using a fork, press down on the edges ( only do this on 3 sides, since one side is already sealed). Brush the top of each pastry with some egg wash. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until they start to brown on top.
  4. Cool them for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.

Notes

To double the recipe just double the amount of all the ingredients, except for the egg wash. I recommend keeping the second puff pastry sheet in the fridge so it stays cool until you’re ready to make the second batch.

    Googling for temp/timing to cook at and yours popped up! I way overfill mine 🤣 took like 20 minutes… but I was full of mixed cream cheese, fresh Papaya/jalapeno jam, and canned chicken from my hurricane supplies. Comes out as an open-face pastry but oh-so-worth it lol

    Ah anything with cream cheese will call my name! These would make an amazingly easy and delicious breakfast with some hot coffee on a lazy Saturday morning, definitely. I just need to stock up some frozen puff pastry for occasions like these 🙂
