1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Unroll the refrigerated pie crust on the parchment. Cut it in half, then cut each half into four rectangles to make 8 pastries.

3. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the vanilla extract until smooth, then stir in the white chocolate chips.

4. Spoon the berry jam onto the center of half of the rectangles, leaving a small border. Top each with the cream cheese mixture, dividing it evenly.

5. Place the remaining rectangles over the filled ones and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

6. Whisk the beaten egg with the water. Brush the egg mixture over the tops and edges of the pastries.

7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the pastries are deep golden brown and puffed.

8. Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
