If you calculate the price for each gram of store-bought puff pastry, you can be genuinely surprised. And if only they tasted really great. But no, their taste is often mediocre. Therefore, it is better to cook them at home. Do you think it is complicated? In fact, puff pastry is cooked very quickly, and it turns out much cheaper and tastier than in the store. Write down a proven recipe that always guarantees a perfect result even for beginners.
You need to start with the filling. To do this, you need to take one medium onion (about 130 g), peel it and finely chop it. After that, the onion needs to be fried. You can use sunflower or olive oil for this. But if you fry it in butter, it will add tenderness and make the taste even better. While the onion is frying, chop the mushrooms and add them to the pan. After that, fry for another 5 minutes.
Transfer the onion and mushrooms to a bowl, and in the same pan, fry the chicken fillet, cut into small pieces. A few minutes before the meat is ready, add spices to it. You can choose them to your taste. The base is salt and black pepper. You can also add smoked paprika, dried garlic, and herbs. It's great if the herbs are fresh, but if you don't have them at hand, dried ones will work - they will open up in a few minutes.
Add the fried chicken fillet to the mushrooms, mix well, and the filling is ready. Now you will need thawed puff yeast dough. Roll out each piece a little on a floured surface, cut into 2 parts. Make several slits in one half of the dough, put the filling on the other, and grate cheese on it. Then, secure the half with the slits with a fork to the part with the filling.
Transfer the puffs to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the dough with egg yolk. If desired, you can also sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake the puffs in an oven preheated to 180°C until golden brown. This usually takes 30 minutes, but you should be guided by your own oven.
