    List of Ingredients






    Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active)

    Makes 12 pastries

    Ingredients

    1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions

    12 chunks manchego cheese (roughly ½-inch-square and ¼ inch thick)

    ¼ cup fig preserves

    1 egg, beaten (optional)

    - Ground black pepper, to taste

    Directions

    1 Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2 Unfold the pastry sheet and use a paring knife to cut it into twelve 2-by-2-inch squares.

    3 Arrange each square on the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife to cut a slit around the inside edge of each square. The slit should run all around, about ¼ inch from the edge. Feel free to experiment with more decorative designs. Cutting this slit will cause the dough to bake up in an attractive manner.

    4 Place a square of cheese in the center of each pastry. Place a dollop of fig preserves over each piece of cheese.

    5 Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and lightly browned. If desired, halfway through baking, use a pastry brush to lightly brush the pastries with egg.

    6 Sprinkle with black pepper, then cool slightly before serving
