Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl mix the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter, 1 egg, and milk, then mix until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly flour your work surface and divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a shallow indentation into the center of each pastry.
- Prepare the Filling: In another bowl beat the cream cheese, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, remaining egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Pastries: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each dough center and top with fresh blueberries.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for about 20 minutes until the pastry edges turn golden and the filling looks set.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool slightly so the filling sets.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the creamy cheesecake center with the juicy blueberries.
Notes
- Allow the cream cheese to soften before mixing to achieve a smooth filling.
- Fresh blueberries provide the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overfill the pastry centers to avoid spilling during baking.
- Pastries can be reheated gently in the oven to restore their soft texture.
