Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Start by thawing the frozen puff pastry sheets as per the instructions on the package, usually around 30-40 minutes at room temperature.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to flatten slightly, ensuring they remain thick enough for a nice rise.
Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper.
Reserve one tablespoon of the beaten egg mixture for brushing the pastry tops later.
Add the chopped chives and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, stirring to combine.
Place each pastry square onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spoon an equal amount of the egg mixture onto the center of each pastry square, leaving a border of approximately half an inch around.
Fold the edges of each pastry over slightly, creating a rim to prevent the egg mixture from leaking.
Brush the reserved egg mixture over the edges of the pastry using a pastry brush for an even glaze and a golden brown finish.
Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
Allow pastries to cool slightly before serving; they can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
