Pastry Lemon-Blueberry Breakfast

This classic breakfast pastry offers sweet-tart blueberries and cream cheese in every bite—perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or as a special addition to a celebratory brunch. If available, sweet and aromatic Meyer lemons add an extra layer of flavor. Be sure to keep the puff pastry chilled as much as possible—it helps preserve the layers and results in a flakier crust.

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
