Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 can (approximately 3 oz) Canned smoked oysters
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and allow it to thaw according to the package instructions, typically 20-30 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the smoked oysters, cream cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
On a floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the smoked oyster filling onto the center of each square.
Fold each square diagonally to create a triangle. Seal the edges by pressing them down with the tines of a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the puffs with the egg wash.
Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
