Nacho Cheese Bites

Directions

1. Thaw the pastry sheet at room temperature for 40 minutes or until it's easy to handle. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork. Stir the cheese and salsa in a small bowl.
2. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 15x12-inch rectangle. Cut into 20 (3-inch) squares. Place about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top each with 1 olive piece, if desired. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg mixture. Fold the pastry over the filling to form triangles. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Place the filled pastries onto a baking sheet. Brush the pastries with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the chili powder.
3. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

"I like the concept but I think a little cooked ground beef or finely, shredded cooked chicken, and Jack cheese, would be good...." See more"

"I gave it 4 stars because I made some changes. I used "Mexican Mix" shredded cheese and added pepper jack. Instead of olives I used jalapenos and I didn't use the egg mixture to close the triangles...." See more They were very spicy and good!"

"You have to make sure to seal these really well. I thought I did, but as the pastry cooked, the cheese leaked out, leaving hardly any in there. :( But a great idea...." See more"
