Recipe Notes
- Work with chilled ingredients: Cold puff pastry will rise better and become flakier, and a chilled filling prevents the pastry from getting soggy.
- Vent holes: Poke a few small holes on the surface of the puff pastry to release steam and prevent the pastry from puffing unevenly.
- Don't overfill: Leave some space around the filling so the egg retains its shape while baking.
- Egg wash is essential: Brush with an egg wash for a beautiful golden brown finish and added crispness.
