This is a beautiful braided breakfast pastry to have with your morning cup of coffee. It’s really easy to make and is filled with cream and cheese and fruit preserve.
Peach Cobbler as a coffee flavor?! Bold…but true
When I was trying the new Peach Cobbler coffee flavor, I got in a mood for some jam filled pastry. I made delicious puff pastry with cream cheese and jam filling.
These little pastries are perfect to make in the morning and you can same them for the next couple of days. They are also versatile and you can fill them with any flavor or jam. You can even make an assortment of flavors in one batch. Since I was having peach cobbler coffee, I used peach jam in my pastry.
Don’t be intimidated by this braided little beauties. They are very easy to make. All you have to do is cut your puff pastry square in 4 squares. Then make about 1-inch cuts along two opposite sides all the way down, about 1/2 inch in thickness. You will fill the center with cream cheese and jam and braid the edges over the filling. That’s it, easy-pease!

While I enjoy making puff pastry at home, I also enjoy the shortcut sometimes. Lyuba, this looks so delicious (as do all your treats!) I’m so glad we’re not neighbors. I’d be 500 lbs. of happy-chubby-Lyuba’s kitchen-loving me.

I’m loving how gorgeous and easy these pastry beauties are, Lyuba! I’d have a hard time choosing between the three choices of ground coffee. But, to be honest, because of your Coconut Crusted Stuffed French toast, I think of you every time I see the word coconut. So, I guess I’d really pick the coconut flavor… hehe! (All) my boys are flavored coffee drinkers. (Yes, I’m that kind of mom!) But, they’d really dig all of these flavors. 😉
