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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Start by thawing the frozen puff pastry sheets as per the instructions on the package, usually around 30-40 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet to flatten slightly, ensuring they remain thick enough for a nice rise.

Step 4

Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Reserve one tablespoon of the beaten egg mixture for brushing the pastry tops later.

Step 7

Add the chopped chives and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Place each pastry square onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 9

Spoon an equal amount of the egg mixture onto the center of each pastry square, leaving a border of approximately half an inch around.

Step 10

Fold the edges of each pastry over slightly, creating a rim to prevent the egg mixture from leaking.

Step 11

Brush the reserved egg mixture over the edges of the pastry using a pastry brush for an even glaze and a golden brown finish.

Step 12

Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.

Step 13

Allow pastries to cool slightly before serving; they can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
