For an extra touch of richness, brush the puff pastry with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs in the cream cheese, such as dill, parsley, or thyme.
Ensure the puff pastry is well-sealed to prevent the cream cheese from leaking out during baking.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.
