Steps:

• Lay Pastry Puffs out to defrost while you are cooking chicken and bacon.

• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll one sheet at a time into a 12 x 12 inch square. Cut 4, 3 inch strips each direction to make 16 squares, 3 x 3″ each. Cut other pastry puff the same way making a total of 32 squares.
• Place about 2 teaspoons of cream cheese mixture onto each square.
• With your finger, brush a dab of water around the edges of each square and fold over diagonally to make a triangle.
• Press edges together and crimp with a fork to seal.
• After stuffing and folding each pastry, place on a baking sheet. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon water together and brush over the top of each pastry.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
• Cool 10 minutes before serving. Can also be served at room temperature.
