Description

Delicious handheld cheeseburger pockets made with flaky puff pastry and filled with ground beef and melty cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 sheets thawed puff pastry
  • 1 large egg plus 1 teaspoon water for egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds for sprinkling
  • House Sauce:
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the ketchup and mustard, and fold in the cheese until it melts. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the center of each pastry square, drizzle with house sauce, and sprinkle more cheese.

  7. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
