Crispy Puff pastry egg sandwich, perfect for breakfast or brunch…
I still haven’t made puff pastry from scratch. Making the perfect puff pastry is quite a skill, needs practice, and it’s time consuming. I’d rather grab the readymade puff pastry from the frozen aisle at the grocery store I shop and turn them into delicious pastries.
When I think about puff pastries, the first thing that comes to my mind is Kerala puffs sold in most bakeries; different kinds of filling made with chicken, mutton, beef or egg will be placed in the pastry sheets; wrapped into triangular or square shapes and baked with golden and crispy. Puffs are pretty popular in Kerala and is devoured by all puff pastry lovers in the evening along with a cup of tea.

I had to use up the puff pastry that’s been sitting in my freezer. Hence, made this puff pastry egg sandwich and served for brunch. Crispy goodness it was.
I made omelette out of the eggs, sandwiched between the puff pastry sheets that was cut into round shapes and baked for 20 minutes. Way too many ways of making this: you could add scrambled eggs, add your favourite veggies and seasonings, puff pastry can be cut into squares or other shapes etc etc. Tweak the recipe based on your creativity and preference.
