Follow The Directions

01

Step

4 hrs

Thaw puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, or at room temperature for 20 to 40 minutes; according to manufacturer’s directions. Pastry should be cold to the touch but pliable.

02

Step

10 mins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

03

Step

5 mins

Sprinkle a work surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Spread the flour over about a 12-inch square area, and lightly flour a rolling pin.

04

Step

10 mins

To form sandwich bottoms, unfold 1 puff pastry sheet over the floured area and lightly roll out to about a 12x12-inch square. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut pastry into 9 equal squares, about 4x4 inches each. Place squares on the prepared pan.

05

Step

3 mins

Leaving a clear 1/2-inch border on all sides, brush the center of each square with about 1 teaspoon chipotle mayonnaise.

06

Step

8 mins

Fold a thin slice of deli beef to fit inside the border of each square. Top the deli beef with a 3-inch square slice of Cheddar cheese. Use the trimmings from cheese slices to complete all 9 squares.

07

Step

5 mins

To form sandwich tops, sprinkle the work surface with remaining flour, and flour the rolling pin again.

08

Step

10 mins

Unfold second puff pastry sheet on the floured work surface; roll out to a 12-inch square. Cut into 9 equal pieces.

09

Step

2 mins

Make an egg wash by whisking egg and 1 tablespoon water together with a fork, until white and yolk are fully incorporated.

10

Step

8 mins

Brush the 1/2-inch clear border on sandwich bottoms with egg wash. Carefully fit each top over sandwich bottoms, and crimp edges together with a fork. Brush tops of sandwiches with egg wash, and sprinkle with bagel seasoning.

11

Step

20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin spread of Dijon mustard under the chipotle mayonnaise.
Experiment with different cheeses like Gruyere or pepper jack for a unique twist.
Ensure the puff pastry is cold before working with it to achieve the best rise and flakiness.
