How to Make Manchego Chorizo Puffs

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, gently unroll one sheet (14.1 oz) of refrigerated puff pastry.
  3. Roll out the pastry to a 10-inch square, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 16 rounds. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of cooked chorizo, crumbled, and 4 ounces of shredded Manchego cheese.
  6. Place about 1 tablespoon of the chorizo-cheese mixture into the center of each pastry round.
  7. Lightly brush the edges of each pastry round with water.
  8. Fold the pastry over to create half-moon shapes, pressing firmly to seal the edges with a fork.
  9. Place the puffs onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons of water, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.
  11. Brush the egg wash evenly over the tops of the puffs.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
