👩🍳 Instructions:
🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Filling
-
Sauté the Onions: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
-
Cook the Minced Meat: Add the minced meat, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked (6-8 minutes).
-
Season the Meat: Sprinkle with dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the grated cheese, chopped parsley, and boiled eggs. Mix until well combined.
🥐 Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
-
Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut it into equal-sized rectangles or your desired shapes.
-
Fill and Fold: Place a generous spoonful of filling on one half of each pastry piece, leaving a small border.
-
Seal the Edges: Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
🌟 Step 3: Add Finishing Touches
-
Make the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk.
-
Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the egg wash over the pastries for a golden, shiny crust. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds or black seeds for added texture.
🥧 Step 4: Bake the Pastries
-
Bake: Transfer the pastries to the prepared baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.
-
Cooking Time: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
-
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
