Appetizer "Shells" from Puff Pastry with Filling
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. You can use any filling for the pastry shells, but today I suggest eggs, ham, processed cheese, a little garlic, and mayonnaise — an excellent choice for filling the appetizer. The base will be crispy and flaky, while the filling, on the other hand, will be tender and appetizing. I am sure such an appetizer will please everyone. It can be served warm or chilled.
