  5. On a cutting board, place your three puff pastry sheets down. I bought pre-made fresh puff pastry that came in little 5x6ish squares.
  6. Beat your egg in a little saucer and with a brush, coat the top of your three puff pastry sheets
  7. Sprinkle your grated cheese of choice, on top and lightly press your cheese into the puff pastry with your hand. (not too hard, just enough to stick)
