Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the oysters under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped chives, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth the edges. Cut the sheet into six equal squares.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Place a fresh oyster on top of the cream cheese.
Fold the pastry square around the oyster, pinching the edges tightly to seal and forming a small roll. Repeat for all oysters, and repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet.
Arrange the oyster rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to ensure a golden brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18β20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
