🟢 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Filling

• Sauté the onion over medium heat until softened (do not brown).

• Add the minced beef and cook until it changes color.

• Add garlic, salt, pepper, spices, and cinnamon.

• Cook until fully done and the liquid evaporates, keeping a slight shine.

• Let the filling cool completely.

🔑 Pro Tip:

Never add hot filling to puff pastry — heat melts the butter layers and prevents proper puffing.

2️⃣ Shape & Fill

• Place the filling in the center of each pastry square.

• Add a generous layer of mozzarella and cheddar on top.

• Fold into a triangle or rectangle.

• Seal edges using a fork for a decorative and secure finish.
