Zesty Snack Puffs
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons horseradish mustard
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
8 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 package (17.25 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
Carrot leaves, optional
In large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, lemon
juice and salt, if desired, until well blended. Gently
stir in eggs and carrots. Set aside. On lightly floured
surface, roll 1 sheet of the puff pastry into 15 x
15-inch square. Brush with some of the beaten egg. Cut
rolled pastry in half. Place one half of the pastry on
15-1/2 x 12-inch baking sheet. Dollop scant tablespoons
of the reserved egg salad mixture onto pastry on sheet
in 3lengthwise rows of 5 each, about 1 inch apart. Top
with remaining half of rolled pastry. Press outside
edges together to seal. Gently, but firmly, press pastry
together in lines between dollops of salad. Brush with
more of the beaten egg. Cut into squares at centers of
pressed lines. Bake in preheated 375ºF oven until puffed
and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Repeat with
remaining sheet of puff pastry, egg salad mixture and
beaten egg. Garnish with carrot leaves, if desired. If
prepared in advance, reheat in preheated 375ºF oven
about 7 to 8 minutes, if desired. Makes 8 servings of 3
to 4 puffs each
