Lemon Curd For Puff Pastry Eggs Recipes

LEMON CURD FOR PUFF PASTRY EGGS

Steps:

• Combine yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar in a heavy-bottom saucepan; whisk to combine. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (be sure to scrape the sides of the pan), until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 8 to 10 minutes, and registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Add salt and butter, one piece at a time, stirring, until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.

PUFF PASTRY EGGS

Steps:

• Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured nonstick baking mat until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer pastry to freezer; freeze until chilled, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a 1 1/2-by-1 1/4-inch oval cutter, cut out 36 puff pastry ovals. Transfer half of the ovals to baking sheets lined with a nonstick baking mat. Using an apple corer or a 1/2-inch-round cutter, cut out the centers of the remaining half of the puff pastry ovals; discard centers or reserve for another use.
• Brush tops of puff pastry ovals on baking sheet with water and top each with a puff pastry oval whose center has been removed, lightly pressing to adhere. Transfer to freezer until chilled, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove baking sheets from freezer; using the tines of a fork, gently pierce inside the center of each puff pastry oval all over to prevent pastry from puffing up while baking.
• Place another nonstick baking mat on top of puff pastries and transfer to oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove baking mat from top of puff pastries and continue baking until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes more. Remove from oven; transfer to wire rack to cool.
