Ingredients
  

6 large eggs, hard-boiled

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

12 sheets of puff pastry (thawed)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Lettuce leaves for assembly

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Salad: Start by peeling the hard-boiled eggs and chopping them into small, even pieces. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped chives, optional dill, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir gently until the mixture is creamy and well-blended. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

    Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C). While it's heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure an even bake.

      Prepare Puff Pastry: On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to slightly flatten them. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut each sheet into 3-inch squares. You should have about 24 squares ready to go.

        Assemble Puff Sandwiches: Take half of the puff pastry squares and place them onto the lined baking sheet. Spoon a small dollop of the egg salad mixture onto the center of each square, ensuring not to overfill. Carefully place another pastry square on top of each filled square, creating a sandwich. Press down the edges lightly with a fork to seal them securely.

          Egg Wash: In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until it's well combined. Using a pastry brush, gently coat the top of each puff sandwich with the egg wash. This will create a beautifully golden color as they bake.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffed, golden brown, and flaky to the touch.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a few moments. To serve, place each mini sandwich on a crisp lettuce leaf and garnish with halved cherry tomatoes for a pop of color. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

                  Presentation Tips: For an appealing display, arrange the sandwiches on a platter, alternating with the lettuce leaves and cherry tomato halves, and consider sprinkling some extra chives or dill around for a fresh touch.
