Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into squares or rectangles, about 4 inches wide.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Add sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

Top the cream cheese with frozen blueberries and a spoonful of blueberry preserves.

Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center to create a pocket, pinching to seal.

Brush the tops of the pastries with a beaten egg mixed with water for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
