STEP 1

Heat the oven to 400°F. Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the puff pastry to a square twice the size of the cheese. Cut of the corners to make a sort of circle. Place the quince paste in the center of the sheet, then place the cheese on top.

STEP 2

Brush the edge of the circle with water. Fold the top and bottom sides over the cheese and trim edges. Press the side edges over the center of the cheese and press to seal. Flip the wrapped cheese so it is seam-side down on the baking sheet. Decorate with the pastry scraps, if desired. Brush with water Bake for 20 – 30 mins or until golden brown. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Vegan puff pastry was not difficult to find, just check the ingredients to make sure it is made with vegetable shortening instead of butter. If you cannot find it, you can use phyllo dough instead. The quince paste you can find at your local Hispanic grocery store as "ate de membrillo" or most mainstream grocery stores carry it in the fancy cheese section. If you can't find it, you can substitute with any fruit preserve you choose.
