  5. Fold one corner of the pastry over the filling to the opposite corner to form a triangle; crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash.

  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
