Mexican Inspired Breakfast: Delicious Guava Pastries

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Roll out the puff pastry to about an eighth of an inch thick.

Cut the pastry into 4-inch round circles using a jar.

Mound about a tablespoon (or two teaspoons) of cream cheese and guava paste onto each circle.

Fold the pastry over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together.

Use an egg wash along the edges to seal the pastries.

Press the edges with a fork dipped in flour to create a decorative edge.

Prick the tops of the pastries to allow steam to escape during baking.

Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, checking for a crispy texture; they may be done in 20 to 25 minutes in a hotter oven.

Once baked, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
