Cooks.com

1 pkg. (about 1 lb.) purchased frozen puff pastry
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 tsp. mixed herbs
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
Few drops hot pepper sauce
1/2 c. sliced green pepper

Thaw pastry sheets at room temperature for about 20 minutes before unfolding. Place each rectangle on lightly floured board. Cut out about 24 (2 1/2-inch) rounds with biscuit cutter.
Prick rounds with a fork. Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Cool.

Meanwhile, prepare filling by beating together cream cheese, herbs, seasoned salt and hot pepper sauce until well combined. Slit the pastry rounds through the middle but do not cut all the way through. Spread pastries with the filling. Sprinkle with sliced green pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
