Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets Puff Pastry, thawed
- 1 cup Cooked Lobster Meat, chopped
- 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine lobster meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Roll out puff pastry sheets slightly and cut into 3-inch squares or use a round cutter for circles.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each piece. Fold over and seal edges. Crimp with a fork.
- Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra chives or paprika if desired.
Notes
- Use chilled filling to avoid soggy pastry.
- Do not overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
- Freeze unbaked puffs for future use — just bake directly from frozen.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
