Description

Delicious savory pockets filled with eggs, leeks, and shiitake mushrooms, enveloped in flaky puff pastry.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons oil (divided)
  • 1/2 pound leeks (thinly sliced)
  • 5 ounces shiitake mushrooms (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed (17 ounces total)
  • 1 egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Make the filling. Lightly beat the eggs with fish sauce and white pepper in a medium bowl.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add eggs and cook until soft scrambled. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
  4. Heat another tablespoon in the same pan. Add leeks and season with salt. Sauté until leeks have softened, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat and add to the bowl with the eggs.
  5. Heat another tablespoon in the same pan. Add mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the bowl with the leeks and eggs.
  6. Season filling mixture with oyster sauce, soy sauce, five spice, and red chili flakes, stirring until well combined. Let cool.
  7. Lightly dust a clean work counter with flour and roll puff pastry sheet until it’s 10×9 inches. Cut into 6 equal rectangles, about 5×3 inches.
  8. Scoop 1/4 cup filling on one side of each puff pastry portions. Fold in half to create a 2 1/2×3 inch rectangle. Press the edges together, using a fork to crimp.
  9. Place pockets on prepared baking sheets and repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
  10. Using a sharp knife, cut slits on top of each pastry. Brush egg wash on top and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling out for best results.
  • Add additional vegetables or spices to the filling as desired.
