Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed per directions on the box)
- 4 ounce white chocolate bar
- 3 tablespoons blueberry jam or preserves
- 1 egg
- Splash of water
- 2 teaspoons coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- On a parchment lined sheet tray, unfold the puff pastry sheet. Place the white chocolate bar in the center, between the two lines.
- Spread the blueberry jam on top of the chocolate. If the jam will not spread, pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds to help loosen it up.
- Make 8 diagonal cuts facing the bottom of the pastry on each side of the filling. (See photos for guidance.) Cut off the bottom part of the pastry flaps and the top part of the pastry flaps, leaving the center pieces intact.
- Fold the top over the filling, then alternating sides, lay the pieces of pastry on top of each other to mimic a braid. When you get to the bottom, before the last two braid sections on each side, fold the bottom part of the pastry over the filling, continue with the last two braided sections.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of water to make an egg wash.
- Brush the egg wash all over the pastry. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
