Egg Puffs are baked puff pastry with spicy egg filling. It is one of my favorite snack. Back in India, We used to get these puffs in the local bakeries. After coming here to US, I came to know it is very easy to prepare this at home with the ready-made frozen pastry sheets available here. I prepared this Egg puff one evening for snack, though it was dark, managed to click pictures to post here.

Notes:
- Adjust the spice as per your taste.
- Make sure you seal the edges of the pastry sheets tightly, otherwise they will open up while baking.
