Making Mini Meatball Puff Pastries can be a fun cooking adventure. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Arrange them on a plate or baking sheet.
4. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into squares, approximately 4 inches on each side.
5. Assemble the Pastries: Place a meatball in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the meatball, pinching to seal tightly. Ensure no openings are left for the filling to escape.
6. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.
7. Bake: Place the assembled pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Using these steps, you’ll create beautiful and delicious Mini Meatball Puff Pastries that are sure to impress.
