Puff pastry shells with Christmas salad: how to make a beautiful and delicious appetizer!
INGREDIENTS
2 sheets puff pastry
200g (1 cup) imitation crab, chopped
9 hard-boiled quail eggs, peeled
200g (1 ¼ cup) canned corn, drained

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Egg wash
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

3. Brush each pastry shell with egg wash and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and puffy. Let cool down, make a slit and open a shell.
4. In a medium bowl combine chicken eggs, crab, corn, cucumber, and mayonnaise. Mix to combine.

Let's Make 3-Ingredient Savory Breakfast Puffs
#breakfast #shorts #recipe
Ingredients:
2 packs ready-rolled puff pastry (approximately 11.3 ounces each)
7 large eggs, divided
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Optional ingredients:
fresh herbs, for garnish
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 395 F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Unroll both pastry sheets, and lay one directly on top of the other so you have two layers. Slice into 6 even rectangles.
3. Place the pastry rectangles onto your lined baking sheets. (You might need to bake in two batches, depending on how many you can fit on two sheets.)
4. Beat an egg in a bowl, and lightly brush an egg wash on top of each pastry rectangle.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Once baked, allow the puff pastry to cool for about 10 minutes.
7. Slice a square hole in the middle of each pastry rectangle, cutting through the top layer of pastry only.
8. Sprinkle a layer of cheese into each hole, then crack in a whole egg.
9. Add another sprinkling of cheese on top of each, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are cooked through.
10. Garnish with a sprinkling of fresh herbs, and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
