Air Fryer Three-Cheese Turnovers
Creamy ricotta, sharp provolone, and salty pecorino blend together to create the perfect cheesy filling for these easy-to-prepare appetizer-sized turnovers.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ricotta cheese
- 2 ounces grated provolone cheese
- 2 ounces grated pecorino cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 sheet thawed frozen puff pastry
- melted butter, for brushing
- sesame seeds, for sprinkling
- marinara sauce, warmed, for serving
Directions
- Preheat an air fryer to 375˚ F. Combine the ricotta, provolone, pecorino, egg, basil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well.
- Roll out the puff pastry just to remove the creases; slice into 16 equal squares. Dollop a tablespoonful of the cheese mixture onto a pastry square. Lightly brush the edges with melted butter, fold in half to form a triangle and pinch closed; crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares, refrigerating the finished turnovers on a parchment-lined pan while you form the rest.
- Brush the tops of the turnovers with more melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place 5 or 6 turnovers in the air fryer basket and cook until puffed and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining turnovers. Serve with warm marinara sauce.
