\"Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember those thumbprint cookies that I made that ended up being hot mushed mashed potato consistency disaster?! Well, originally I made those cookies because I wanted to tell you guys about Just Jan’s<\/a>. Their team sent me a handful of their spreads and jams, and I was floored – you guys they’re so good!<\/p>\n

So I set out to make another dish that would showcase a couple of spreads, and I settled on these cheese and jam pastries.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

I made these the same way that I make Spanakopita<\/a>. Mainly I did it this way because I had phyllo dough in my freezer, let’s be real. But you could use regular pie dough, make your own dough, whatever floats your boat. I just love how flaky the phyllo is, and how it complements the gooeyness of the cheesey-jam. I’m making this sound really appealing, I know it.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese<\/a>
\nIngredients:<\/p>\n

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n2 eggs, divided into yolks\/whites
\n1 stick butter (probably less, start with 1\/2 stick)
\n6 oz jam (I used several kinds, any flavor will do!)
\n1 package phyllo dough<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

1. Whip together cream cheese and sugar. Add egg yolks.
\n2. Take a layer of phyllo dough and lay out on a cutting board. Melting 2 tablespoons of butter at a time, used this to brush in between each layer of phyllo dough.\u00a0Layer two or three layers, buttering between each one. I used three layers for this, but two would have done it, as long as you’re careful – phyllo is delicate!
\n3. Cut phyllo into about 1-inch thick strips \u2013 I ended up with four long strips per sheet, but it\u2019ll depend on your phyllo.
\n5. Fill the top of each strip with about a teaspoon of cream cheese filling, and a teaspoon of jam. Then fold the phyllo down (like a flag<\/a>) until it\u2019s in a final triangle. Place on a cookie sheet and repeat with remaining phyllo strips, then repeat steps 3-5 until filling is gone, or you run out of phyllo.
\n6. Brush all triangles with egg white wash (two egg washes plus a tablespoon water), then stick in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese<\/a> \"Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

These are great as a breakfast (not so healthful, but so delicious!) or as a sweeter appetizer – dealer’s choice. I\u00a0hope that you find some Just Jan’s in your neighborhood and try this recipe with it (or just slather it on bread, like I often do!) What is your fave jam flavor? I used fig, strawberry, and tangerine for this, and I think I liked the fig the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
