Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 egg, for egg wash

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Spread the filling inside the scored border of each pastry rectangle.
- Brush the borders with egg wash.
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
- Top with fresh fruit or herbs before serving.
Notes
For a savory version, skip the honey and vanilla, and top with everything bagel seasoning and chives instead.
