Instructions:
- Defrost the pastry sheets.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Combine the cheeses of your choosing with one egg yolk.
- Pour cheese mixture into the baking dish, on top of the first pastry sheet.
- Use a rolling pin on the second pastry sheet to flatten and stretch.
- Cover the baking dish with the second pastry sheet, tucking edges downward to contain the cheese within the pastries while baking.
- Mix the remaining egg yolk with 1 TBS of water, and brush the top pastry sheet.
- Pierce the top pastry sheet, all over and evenly spaced, with a fork.
- Bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
