Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry - thawed out but still cold
1 ½ medium peaches - sliced thin
a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon sugar
3 oz cream cheese light - softened
¼ cup preserves - any flavor
egg wash - for puff pastry

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make filling. Combine the softened cream cheese with the preserves, and use a hand mixer to combine.
3 oz cream cheese light, ¼ cup preserves
Prep peaches. Cut peaches into thin slices. Place them in a bowl, and add the sugar and lemon juice. Let the peaches sit for about 15 minutes.
1 ½ medium peaches, 1 Tablespoon sugar, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Make the egg wash. Combine one egg and a teaspoon of water together, and then whisk.
egg wash
Prep puff pastry. Remove puff pastry sheet from freezer, and let it thaw. While it is just thawed and STILL cold, cut it into six sections and roll out with a rolling pin. Place the six pieces on the prepared baking sheet
1 sheet puff pastry
Assemble. Spoon an even amount of the cream cheese/preserve filling in the center of each puff pastry section. Smooth it out but leave some room at the edges. Then lay about four slices of peaches on top of the filling, so that they overlap each other.
Carefully fold up the edges around the peaches and filling. There won’t be a lot of pastry to fold, but you’re just trying to keep most of the filling inside each tartlet. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
Bake. Bake the peach tartlets until bubbly and golden brown on the edges, about 20 – 22 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Some variations to this recipe:

Use other fruits. You could do apples, blueberries, raspberries, and so on!
Try other fillings. Instead of preserves, try some blended fruit. Instead of cream cheese, try ricotta cheese whipped with honey.
Include a topping. Drizzle some icing on top and add some shaved almonds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
