Unfold puff pastry sheets, cut into 12 rectangles, and arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet with space in between.

Lightly score a border around each rectangle, poke holes in the center, allowing the border to rise.

Mix cream cheese, 2 tbsp sugar, and vanilla. Spread onto pastries within the border.

optional: Add sliced strawberries top of cream cheese.

Beat egg and water, brush a thin layer on the pastry border. Bake at 400°F for 12-18 minutes until golden brown.
