Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 8 Puff Pastry sheet squares

Filling

Instructions

  • Start by hard boiling the eggs. You can do air fryer boiled eggs or boil them on stove.
  • Cool and peel them. Set aside.
  • Assemble the ingredients for the filling.

Make the Filling

  • Sliced two onions finely.
  • Heat a pan. Add oil.
  • Add finely sliced onions along with salt to release water.
  • Sauté them till they get soft. I sauté them for about 5-7 minutes on low heat till they become golden.
  • Add ginger garlic paste and sauté them further till raw smell goes from the paste.
  • Add a couple of tsps. of water if the mixtures starts sticking to the base.
  • Now add the spices: ¼ tsp. turmeric, ½ tsp. garam masala, ½ tsp. Kashmiri red chilli or paprika and ½ tsp. pepper.
  • Mix well.
  • Take the filling and cool it completely before using.

Assemble the puff

  • Cut each puff pastry sheet into squares.
  • I sometimes roll them out a bit.
  • Spoon in about a teaspoon of onion mixture in the centre of the square.
  • Place half an egg on top if the onion mixture.
  • Then raise the edges and seal the puff. You can seal it completely or seal the edges and leave it slightly open.
  • It is up to you.
  • Brush each puff with the egg wash.

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer at 200C or 390F for about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the egg puffs in the basket on top of perforated parchment paper.
  • Make sure they do not overlap.
  • Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes at 200C or 390F till the puff pastry is nice and browned and well cooked.
  • Watch it after 4 minutes. You don’t want them getting too brown.
  • Take out your egg puffs in air fryer and serve them hot with dip, chutney or ketchup.

Oven Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C or 400F.
  • Arrange egg puffs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 200C or 400F or until the puffs are golden brown.

Notes

1. Don’t Overfill: It can be tempting to load up on the filling, but less is more here.
Too much filling can lead to the puffs breaking open during cooking.
2. Seal Properly: Ensure the puffs are properly sealed to prevent the filling from spilling out while baking.
3. Space Out: Whether you're using an air fryer or an oven, remember to space out the puffs to allow for even cooking as well as puffing up.
4. Keep An Eye: Every air fryer and oven are different.
So, keep a close watch towards the end of cooking time to prevent the puffs from burning.
5. Cool the filling: Always cool the filling before assembling your puff or it will become a gooey mess.
