I know you guys enjoy a good recipe hack, and I think you will love this one: two ingredient rugelach! That’s right: just a package of puff pastry, filling and that’s it. You can make flaky, sweet, indulgent rugelach for your next Shabbat dinner, brunch or just because you need something with your afternoon cup of tea, within 30 minutes.
I demonstrate below using chocolate hazelnut spread, but you could use a cookie butter or jam – or try something savory like goat cheese and herbs. Top with a quick beaten egg and bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden. Doesn’t get a whole lot easier than that. Watch below for the easy instructions.
The following recipe was inspired by this recipe from Real Simple.

Found this recipe when I needed a quickie but homemade dessert. It was so much easier that dough from scratch & my Shavuot guests loved it! I used raspberry preserves and finely chopped walnuts. Thanks Nosher!
I want to use preserves and walnuts.
Did you toast the walnuts?
did you put the preserves down first and then the walnuts or did u mix them together and spread?
Thanks,
