Ingredients:
- 250 g puff pastry;
- fresh chicken eggs;
- hard cheese;
- bacon;
- spices and herbs to taste.
Instructions:
Roll out the dough and cut it into 6-10 cm square pieces. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the squares on top. Quickly fold up the edges of each piece by about 1 cm to prevent the filling from spilling.

2. Berry Cream Roll
Ingredients:
- 150 g puff pastry;
- 150 g cream cheese;
- 3-4 tbsp sugar;
- 1 tsp lemon or orange zest;
- fresh or frozen berries.
Instructions:
Combine cream cheese, sugar, and zest, then beat together with a mixer. For a tangy twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice. Roll out the dough and spread the creamy mixture over it, leaving a couple of centimeters from the edge to seal the roll later.
Arrange your favorite berries on top of the cream layer, then carefully roll it up, pinching the edge to seal. Before baking, slice the roll into 3-4 cm pieces and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 190°C for 10-15 minutes. Optionally, drizzle with icing sugar (mix a cup of powdered sugar with a couple of tablespoons of milk and vanilla).
