Lovely! The eggs are a great topping, too. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it. Homemade puff is a lot easier than people think and worth it. I just wish I had access to the butter you used!

Oh, the eggs look delicious and your pastry rose fantastically! I have some leftover pastry and this makes me want to create some kind of egg turnover for breakfast… Yum!

It puffed!!! Your puff pastry/vols-au-vent look wonderful. I’ll have to go back and try it one day.

I had some pooling of the puff as well. I will try a higher temp next time too.

And even though your butter oozed a little, it is so puffy. Nice layers!

Oooh, look at your beautiful puff pastry! It rose so nicely… bravo!

I used Kerrygold butter too. I have some in my freezer that I’ve been hoarding, waiting for that one special recipe.

I’m so glad this worked out for you. It’s nice when the challenges line up with your to-bake list.

WOW, your layers are fantastic, perfectly golden and distinct with a nice rise. I also made a scrambled egg-chive filling for one of my vols au vents, but I’ll take your box of beauty over mine in a nano second! Well done!!

Scrambled eggs are a terrific idea! I still have some puff pastry left, and was wondering what to use as a filling. Now I know.
