Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar)
1 large egg (beaten for egg wash)
0.5 cups fresh herbs (e.g., dill, chives) (chopped)
0.5 tsp salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
0.25 tsp black pepper
4 oz unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/8 inch thick.
Spread the shredded cheese evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with chopped herbs and black pepper.
Cut the dough into wedges, then roll each wedge from the wide end to the point to form a crescent shape.
Place the rugelach on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
