Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean countertop with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Chop the green onions into small pieces and grate the cheddar cheese.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the egg mixture and gently stir for 2-3 minutes until you have soft, creamy scrambled eggs. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Stir the cheddar cheese and green onions into the scrambled eggs.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the corners of the puff pastry squares towards the center to form a parcel, pinching the seams to seal. Alternatively, fold the pastry into a triangular pocket if preferred.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg with water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
