- 3.5 oz bresaola
- 4.6 oz Taleggio
- as needed egg (for brushing)
- as needed sesame seeds
How to make bresaola and taleggio pockets
Unroll the puff pastry on your work surface, then use a knife to cut the pastry into 6 equal pieces.
On one half of each rectangle place a slice of bresaola and a small piece of taleggio cheese, a little honey and walnut halves.
Fold the rectangle in half to close the pocket, then make three small cuts and seal the edges well with a fork.
Transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg and decorate with sesame seeds.
Bake your pockets in a preheated oven at 374°F for 12-15 minutes.
Storage and tips for bresaola and taleggio pockets
They are spectacular straight from the oven, but also delicious cold. To preserve their crispiness, store them at room temperature covered with plastic wrap for at most a few hours. You can freeze them before baking. Alternatively, for a more flavorful and aromatic variation: fill with speck and blue cheese, or with pears and taleggio or gorgonzola. For a vegetarian version you can fill them with sun-dried tomatoes and chopped olives mixed with a little ricotta.
