Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. Place puff pastry on a sheet pan and slice into 8 small rectangles (amount for 4 servings; adjust if customizing). Fill the center of each rectangle with tomato sauce, cheese, and pepperoni (if using). (Note: Don’t overfill the puff pastry with sauce. If you have extra sauce, save it for dipping the finished hand pies.)
  3. Dip your fingers in water and run your fingers around the edges of each rectangle. Fold puff pastry rectangles over to enclose filling and press edges to enclose (the water should help the pastry to stick). Cut a small slit in the top of each pastry.
  4. Whisk eggs with garlic powder and Italian seasoning and brush over tops of puff pastry.
  5. Bake hand pies until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Toss cucumbers, lettuce, peas, and green onions with vinaigrette.
  7. Serve hand pies with salad on the side. Enjoy!
