    These Cream Cheese Turnovers are incredibly easy to make, ready in just 30 minutes! Made with puff pastry and stuffed with cream cheese, these savory pastries are buttery and flaky. They are finished with everything bagel seasoning which flavors every single bite!

    Reminiscent of an everything bagel slathered in cream cheese, this simple turnover recipe replicates all the same flavors but in the form of a pastry. Believe it or not, these turnovers are ready in just thirty minutes. This recipe is crazy easy and absolutely DELICIOUS!

    When I say these are delicious, I mean it. I am obsessed with these cream cheese turnovers. Why is this recipe SO easy? Well, like my puff pastry chocolate croissants, this recipe starts with premade puff pastry (found in the freezer aisle). And it requires only four ingredients (not including the tablespoon of water in the egg wash).

    Can you ask for an easier breakfast pastry? I don't think so!

    Why You Will Love This Cheese Turnover Recipe

    • This pastry recipe could not be easier! The whole process takes only 30 minutes.
    • Turnovers are made simple with premade puff pastry.
    • These cream cheese turnovers are great for an easy breakfast option or a fun addition to weekend brunch.
    • They are DELICIOUS! I cannot say enough about how tasty these little savory pastries are!

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    The ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Puff Pastry (thawed) - If so desired, use homemade.
    • Cream Cheese (cold) - Slice the cheese into .5 oz triangles. If needed, place the cheese back into the fridge to resolidify if it becomes soft and warm.
    • Egg - For the egg wash.
    • Everything Bagel Seasoning

    See the recipe card for the ingredient quantities.

    Instructions

    STEP 1 - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    Puff pastry squares with a triangle of cream cheese on one half of each square.

    STEP 2 - Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions. Once thawed, cut each sheet into 4 squares. *There will be 8 turnovers in total.

    *TIP - Use a bench scraper or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into squares.

    STEP 3 - In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Stir in one tablespoon of water.

    STEP 4 - Place a cream cheese triangle diagonally on one end of each square. Leave enough room on the edge to seal the pastry (see the above picture).

    *TIP - The cream cheese is easiest to deal with when cold. Pop the cream cheese triangles back into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes if it starts to warm.

    STEP 5 - Using your finger, place a small amount of egg wash along the edge of the cheese side. Fold over the other side of the pastry to form a triangle.

    Repeat until all of the pastries are filled.

    STEP 6 - Press down the edges of each pastry with a fork.

    *This is an important step to ensure the turnovers are sealed.

    STEP 7 - Brush the top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with bagel seasoning.

    STEP 8 - Bake for 20 - 22 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

    Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Equipment

    • Baking Tray - I love Nordic Ware Aluminum Half Sheets. I have a couple of different types in my kitchen.
    • Parchment Paper (or Silpat) - Line the baking tray with a Parchment Paper Sheet or Silpat.
    • Silicone Brush - Use a brush to apply the egg wash to each pastry. I love Silicone Brushes because they eliminate the chance of a loose bristle ending up on the food.

    Tips

    • Thaw puff pastry completely before using. Follow the package instructions for proper thawing. Make sure that the puff pastry stays cold throughout the assembly process.
    • Unfold {and cut} the pastry delicately on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
    • For the easiest preparation, assemble pastries on the baking sheet tray on which you will be baking them.
    • Resist opening the oven while the turnovers are baking, and rely on the oven light until close to the end of baking. Puff pastry relies on the steam created from the heat in the {high-temperature} oven. Repeatedly opening the oven lets out the steam. The steam is crucial for the pastry's rise.

    Variations

    • Add sliced ham, cooked bacon, or sliced turkey atop the cream cheese.
    • Fill the turnovers with goat cheese instead of cream cheese.
    • For a sweet variation, try my blueberry turnovers with puff pastry.

    Storing, Freezing, & Reheating

    • STORAGE - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • FREEZE - Assemble the turnovers, but do not egg wash or sprinkle with seasoning. Freeze on a baking tray until completely frozen. Transfer the frozen pastries to a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve. Egg wash and sprinkle with seasoning. Bake the pastries while still frozen (do not thaw) at 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes. (They will take a few minutes longer to bake since they are frozen.)
    • REHEAT - There are multiple methods by which these turnovers can be reheated. MICROWAVE: Heat for 15-30 seconds. AIR-FRYER: Heat at 350 F for 2-4 minutes.

    FAQ

    Can cream cheese turnovers be made in advance?

    These turnovers are best served the same day that they are made. However, they can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time.

    How long does thawed puff pastry last in the refrigerator?

    Once thawed, puff pastry is good for up to 3 days when stored in the refrigerator.

    Where do you buy everything bagel seasoning?

    Nowadays, you can find bagel seasoning in grocery stores like Trader Joe's and Costco. You can also find it on Amazon.

        Hi Gail, you can find everything bagel seasoning at most grocery stores. My favorite is from Trader Joe's. If you want to make the homemade seasoning, combine poppy seeds, sesame seeds (white and black), dried minced onion, dried minced garlic, and coarse salt. Let me know what you think!

        Hi, Rick! This recipe requires two sheets of puff pastry. Cut each sheet of puff pastry into four squares, giving you eight squares. Let me know if you have any further questions.
