Ingredients

Puff pastry
500 g
a standard package of puff pastry
Egg
1 piece
Sesame seeds
1 tbsp
Philadelphia cream cheese
300 g
or any other cream cheese with a similar consistency
Smoked salmon
150 g

Step by step

Step 1

Let the puff pastry thaw. Then find something suitable for cutting circles - I used a smaller glass. To cut the edges of the circles, use a stopper from a water bottle, or any other shape you like.

It is important to have 15 large circles and another 15 large circles from which to cut the edges - see below for what.

Step 3

Then put the edges of the cut circles over the first ones, grease them well with egg yolk. You can also put a third layer of edges according to the same method, I didn't put them anymore, I made them smaller.

Step 5

After 10 minutes, open the oven door and if you notice that the patties have swelled too much, remove them and prick their middle with a fork to make them flatter. Put back in the oven until golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the pâtés on a plate and leave to cool. You can make them the day before, but on the 2nd day the dough will be drier not as fragile as it is fresh.

Step 7

Spread cream cheese, salmon and lemon juice with a blender - then I broke the vertical mixer and used the big one, it was a torment. So I recommend using a more efficient vertical mixer or food processor for the bird.

Step 8

You can put the cream in the pâtés with a teaspoon and decorate with greens. I used the whipped cream spirit to make a beautiful cream shape, and I didn't put the greens on top.

Good appetite!
