Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed but cold)

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Microgreens or arugula (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for another 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Egg Salad: Once cooled, peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

      Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into small squares, approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. You should be able to get about 12 squares from one sheet.

        Fill the Pastries: Place a tablespoon of the egg salad mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Be careful not to overfill to ensure they can close properly.

          Seal the Sandwiches: Fold the corners of each pastry square over the filling to form a triangle or a small pocket. Press the edges firmly to seal. You can also crimp the edges with a fork for an added decorative touch.

            Egg Wash and Bake: Beat the egg for the egg wash in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the puff sandwiches with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

                Serve: Allow the mini sandwiches to cool slightly before transferring them to a serving plate. Garnish with microgreens or arugula for a fresh touch. Serve warm or at room temperature.
