Ingredients
- 4 sheets puff pastry
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, paprika, and half of the grated parmesan cheese until fully combined to create a flavorful coating.
- Cut Puff Pastry: Slice the puff pastry sheets into 1-inch squares carefully to maintain their shape for baking.
- Brush Puff Pastry: Using a pastry brush, coat each puff pastry square with the egg and parmesan mixture, ensuring a light and even layer.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the coated puff pastry squares on the lined baking sheets, spacing them about ½ inch apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Add Extra Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese generously over the top of each pastry square for additional flavor and a crispy finish.
- Bake: Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until they become golden brown and puffed up.
Notes
- Use cold puff pastry for easier handling and better puff.
- Feel free to add a pinch of black pepper or herbs like thyme for extra flavor.
- Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
- Can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
- Make sure to space the puffs properly so they don’t stick together while baking.
