Toppings - dried or fresh fruits, nuts or fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
Roll out the dough large enough to wrap completely around the cheese, like a present.
Set the cheese in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the cheese, turn it over and seal the edges neatly on the underside. Place on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
Whisk the egg with a drizzle of water into an egg wash. Generously brush the entire pastry with the egg wash.
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until dough is golden.

Notes
Puff pastry can be used just as you would a pie crust. Phyllo dough can also be used simply by layering 3 layers of the dough, each layer brushed with a little olive oil, then wrap and bake just as you would pie crust dough.
