RECIPE | Almond Puff Pastry Bites

~

Hey guys! I've been playing around with puff pastry lately and came up with a yummy recipe.  Well, I wouldn't consider it a recipe because I was randomly putting things together that sounded good.  I ended up with bite-sized pieces of puff pastry covered in almonds and sugar.  As I am writing this, I am wondering why I didn't add desiccated coconut on the top as well.  THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD.  I know what I'm going to be trying out soon:) Anyways onto the recipe!

Ingredients:

-Puff pastry sheet, cut into small rectangles

-1/2 cup sugar

-1/2 cup of almonds, toasted and chopped

-1 egg

-1 tbsp of water

Recipe:

-Preheat oven to 400 F 

-Mix the sugar and almonds in a bowl

-In another bowl, make an egg wash by beating together the egg and water (this allows the pastry to turn golden brown)

-On each puff pastry rectangle, brush on a layer of egg wash and sprinkle on about 1/2 a tsp of the almond sugar mixture (I don't think anyone will complain if you put more:))

-Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Done!

Honestly, how much easier can it get!
