Fold the pastry over the banana and cheese filling to create a pocket or roll it into a pinwheel shape.
Brush the edges with melted butter to seal them.
Bake:
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Prepare the Chocolate Dip:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and milk together. You can do this in the microwave in 20-second intervals or on a stovetop using a double boiler.
Serve:
Once the pastries are baked and slightly cooled, serve them with the warm chocolate dip.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy snack.
Top with a drizzle of honey or caramel for extra sweetness.
Sprinkle some chopped nuts over the pastry for a crunchy contrast.
Serve with fresh berries for a refreshing addition.
Cooking Tips:
For extra flavor, use a flavored cheese like goat cheese or mascarpone.
If you prefer a sweeter filling, drizzle some honey over the bananas before adding the cheese.
Make sure to seal the pastry well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
If you have leftover pastries, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
