1

Thaw the puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, or at room temperature for 20 to 40 minutes, following the manufacturer’s directions. The pastry should be cold to the touch but flexible.
2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
3

Lightly flour a work surface with 1 tablespoon flour. Spread the flour over about a 12-inch square area, and lightly flour a rolling pin.
4

For the sandwich bottoms, unfold 1 puff pastry sheet onto the floured area and gently roll it out to about a 12x12-inch square. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 9 equal squares, about 4x4 inches each. Arrange the squares on the prepared pan.
5

Leaving a clear 1/2-inch border on all sides, brush the center of each square with about 1 teaspoon chipotle mayonnaise.
6

Fold a thin slice of deli beef to fit inside the border of each square. Place a 3-inch square slice of Cheddar cheese on top of the deli beef. Use the trimmings from the cheese slices to cover all 9 squares.
7

To make the sandwich tops, sprinkle the work surface with the remaining flour, and flour the rolling pin again.
8

Unfold the second puff pastry sheet on the floured work surface and roll it out to a 12-inch square. Cut into 9 equal pieces.
9

Prepare an egg wash by whisking the egg and 1 tablespoon water together with a fork until the white and yolk are fully combined.
10

Brush the 1/2-inch clear border on the sandwich bottoms with egg wash. Carefully place each top over the sandwich bottoms, and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
12

Cool on a rack for 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve warm.
