👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together (about 60–90 seconds).

- Cook 3–4 more minutes until thickened. Let cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Pies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the dough between two parchment sheets.
- Cut into circles (about 4–5 inches wide).
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold in half, and seal edges with a fork.
- Optionally brush with beaten egg for shine.
Step 4: Bake
- Place pies on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
