To make quick puffs with cheese, boiled eggs and herbs, you don’t even need to roll out the dough – everything is easy and simple. The filling for the puffs also cooks very quickly. Such ruddy, crispy and delicious puffs are perfect for breakfast, snack or picnic.
Prepare all the necessary foods. If you are using frozen ready-made puff pastry, it is best to remove it from the freezer about 25-30 minutes before cooking. It is not necessary to completely defrost the dough – if it is hard, it will even be easier to work with it. Snack puffs with cheese, boiled eggs and herbs cook very quickly, so it is better to turn on the oven in advance to heat up to 180 degrees.
Lay out a layer of puff pastry on the table and cut it into 8 identical square or rectangular pieces about 10-15 cm wide.
We send the eggs into a saucepan, fill with cold water, put on heat, bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes. Then we put the boiled eggs in cold water and leave to cool.
Grate the cheese on a medium grater.
Wash the dill and green onions, dry them and chop finely with a knife.
Peel the boiled eggs and cut them into small cubes.
Combine eggs, cheese, dill, green onions, mayonnaise and salt in a bowl.
Stir until smooth.
Cover the baking sheet with parchment and lay out the dough squares, observing the distance between them. In the middle of each square we lay out about 1/8 of the filling, not reaching the edges of the dough about 2-3 cm.
We send a baking sheet with puffs to the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for about 20-25 minutes.
We take out the finished puffs with cheese and boiled eggs from the oven, let them cool down a little and serve. Such original snack puffs are equally good both warm and cold.
