Ingredients

1 17 ounce package puff pastry thawed
1 8 ounce package cream cheese
1 cup Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus
6 slices bacon chopped
2 large jalapeños diced and seeds removed
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 egg for egg wash
parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Make the filling: warm cream cheese in the microwave for 30-40 seconds until it is easily stirred.
Add hummus, bacon, jalapeños and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly dust your surface. Roll out both sheets of puff pastry to twice its size with a lightly floured rolling pin.
Cut into 18 equal pieces (9 per sheet--most boxes have 2 sheets).
Top each turnover with a heaping spoonful of filling and sprinkling of cheese.
Whisk egg well and use a pastry brush to brush the egg around all edges of each pastry square. Fold over and crimp with a fork.
Slice 2-3 air vents per turnover to allow steam to escape.
Egg wash the tops and top with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and a very thin jalapeño slice.
Bake for 22 minutes until golden and delicious.

Notes

Egg wash can be omitted if needed. Use water to seal edges.
Top can be brushed with butter, milk or olive oil to aid in browning if desired or left plain.
