Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives

1 tablespoon freshly chopped dill

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 package (1 sheet) puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Microgreens (for garnishing, optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Egg Salad: Once the eggs are cool, peel them and chop them finely in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chives, dill, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 3-inch squares.

          Assemble the Puff Sandwiches: Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the egg salad in the center of half of the pastry squares. Top each with another square, sealing the edges with your fingers. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch and better sealing.

            Apply Egg Wash: Brush the top of each puff sandwich with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

              Bake: Place the puff sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

                Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with microgreens, if desired, before serving.
