Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Roll out the 1 sheet puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal squares.

  3. Step 3

    Place 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella in the center of each square. Fold diagonally to form triangles, pressing edges with a fork to seal.

  4. Step 4

    Beat the 1 egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 15-18 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown.

  6. Step 6

    While pastries bake, warm the 1/2 cup tomato sauce with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small saucepan over low heat, about 5 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the hot pastries with the warm sauce for dipping.
