Ingredients Spotlight

Let’s take a closer look at the key ingredients that make this recipe stand out:

  • Puff Pastry: The foundation of our cups, providing a crispy and flaky exterior.
  • Eggs: Essential for making the creamy filling, with a rich texture and flavor.
  • Beer: Adds a unique depth of flavor to the cream, enhancing its richness.
  • Dijon Mustard: Provides a tangy kick that complements the creaminess of the filling.
  • Smoked Paprika: Adds a subtle smokiness and depth to the flavor profile.
  • Chives: Fresh and vibrant, they make a perfect garnish for the finished cups.

Preparation Tips

For the best results, keep these tips in mind:

  1. Handling Puff Pastry: Keep the pastry cold until you’re ready to use it to maintain its flakiness. If it becomes too warm, it can become difficult to handle.
  2. Egg-Beer Cream Consistency: Adjust the consistency of the cream with more beer if needed. It should be slightly runnier than traditional mayonnaise to achieve a smooth texture.
  3. Pre-baking the Pastry Cups: Ensure the pastry cups are thoroughly baked and golden brown before filling them to prevent sogginess.

Serving Suggestions

These puff pastry cups make an excellent appetizer or elegant snack. Serve them warm or at room temperature, and pair them with a crisp white wine or a light beer for a delightful culinary experience. They are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or as a sophisticated touch to any meal.

Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your puff pastry cups. Try using flavored cheeses, different types of mustard, or adding herbs to the egg-beer cream for a personalized twist.

Recipe Preparation Steps
1.

Prepare the Egg-Beer Cream:

Boil four eggs until hard.

2.

Separate the yolks from the remaining two eggs and place them in a tall container. Add Dijon mustard, the juice of ¼ lemon, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and beer. Using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment, start whisking the mixture.

3.

Gradually add vegetable oil in a thin stream while whisking continuously until you achieve a creamy mayonnaise-like consistency. This mayonnaise should be slightly more liquid than usual.

For this amount of yolks, you’ll use approximately 200 ml of oil.

4.

Peel the boiled eggs and place them in a blender. Add the beer mayonnaise and blend until smooth and thick. If the cream seems too thick, add a bit more beer. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Transfer the cream to a piping bag and chill in the refrigerator.

5.

Prepare the Puff Pastry Cups:

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

6.

Roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of 2 – 3 mm, or use pre-rolled pastry. Cut out circles about 6 cm in diameter.

7.

Divide the circles in half and use a smaller cutter to cut out the centers of half of the circles (about 3.5 cm in diameter). Re-roll any scraps of pastry to cut more circles if needed.

8.

Brush the full circles with egg yolk and then place the circles with the cut-out centers on top. Brush the edges of the cut-out circles with egg yolk as well.

9.

Place the assembled circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

10.

Once baked and cooled, fill the puff pastry cups with the egg-beer cream and garnish with chopped chives.
