Summer Squash Purses

What you will need:
Puff Pastry cut into 9 Squares
1 Zucchini
1 yellow Squash
2 Carrots
9 slices of American Cheese
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Dijon mustard
Butter (1 teaspoon)
Olive Oil (1 Teaspoon)

This recipe will make 9 pieces. They can be made smaller (cut each square of pastry and cheese into 4 squares before filling) if you are looking for a kid Friendly/adult friendly appetizer.

Using a box grater (The one that has larger circles) grate squash and Zucchini on an angle (this will make long pieces). Peel Carrot and gate the same way. Over medium heat warm butter and Olive oil. Add veggies until they are become medium soft (About 5 - 7 minutes).

On top of each square brush with Dijon mustard. Top each slice with Cheese and another light brush of Dijon mustard. Evenly distribute Veggies on top of each square. Sprinkle a little Cheddar on each. Pull the four corners of each square together to make a purse. Spay a pan with Non stick cooking spray and place each purse on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until brown. If you want a nice shine, brush each with an egg that has been whisked.
