Egg puffs with pastry sheets or simply egg puffs taste delicious. It is a popular snack item in local bakeries back home. They are always a crowd-pleaser and a tasty appetizer to serve at parties and get-togethers.
The pastry sheets are easily available in the frozen section of the grocery aisle. I use the frozen Pepperidge Farm pastry sheets. It is a breeze to make egg puffs using readymade frozen pastry sheets. All you need to do is make the filling for the pastry puffs.
Some folks also make the pastry dough from scratch but that can be some effort. The crispy flakiness of the pastry sheet combined with the spiced egg makes a great combination. This is similar to the recipe for Vegetable puffs pastry that I posted earlier and is a good option for vegetarians.

Egg puffs with pastry sheets - How to make the Filling?
To make the filling, boil eggs until well done. De-shell and cut into halves. Make a spiced gravy and add the boiled eggs into it. Once they are mixed well, take off the heat and cool. Thaw the sheets and cut them into squares. Spoon the gravy and eggs onto each square, brush with egg wash, and close the ends of the pastry sheets into desired shapes. Bake them in an oven for 20 -25 minutes. Serve with ketchup on the side.
