For filling, in a medium mixing bowl combine egg, cheese, ham, parsley, dillweed, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir in onion mixture; set aside. Place 2 to 3 Tablespoons of the filling just off center on each square. Moisten edges of pastry with water; fold in half diagonally. Seal edges by pressing with finger or tines of a fork. Place pastry on ungreased baking sheet. Coat with egg wash. Place in preheated oven and immediately drop temperature to 380 degrees and cook 20 to 25 minutes till nicely browned.
