Way of preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
Cook the broccoli according to the package directions. Transfer to a colander to drain until cool, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and add the mozzarella, feta, ricotta, dill, chives, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir together with a large spoon, using the back of it to crush any large broccoli florets. Set aside.
Step 4
Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 5
Roll out a sheet of the puff pastry on a clean work surface into a 12-inch square, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut the puff pastry into sixteen 3-inch squares with a pizza wheel or knife. Place 1 tablespoon of the broccoli mixture in the center of each square. Working with a square at a time, pinch together 2 opposite corners, then pinch together the remaining 2 corners to create a small packet. Transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry and filling. Brush the packets with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
Step 6
Working in batches if needed, bake the packets until golden and bubbly, 20 to 22 minutes.
