Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Thaw puff pastry according to package directions if frozen.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and stir in 0.5 cup breadcrumbs and 1 beaten egg until well combined. Let cool slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut into 6 squares. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square.

  6. Step 6

    Fold pastry over to form triangles, press edges with a fork to seal. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. Step 7

    Brush tops with beaten egg (optional) and sprinkle with extra breadcrumbs. Bake until golden and puffed, 20-25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
