Instructions
Preheat Oven:

- Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Roll Out Pastry:
- Place the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly to smooth the edges.
Add Filling:
- Spread the prepared filling in the center of the puff pastry, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Prepare Top Layer:
- Take the second sheet of puff pastry, fold it in half, and cut evenly spaced slits before unfolding.
Cover & Seal:
- Place the slit pastry over the filling, aligning the edges.
- Press the edges together firmly with a fork to seal the jalousie.
Apply Egg Wash:
- Brush the top layer with egg wash for a glossy, golden finish.
Bake the Jalousie:
- Transfer the prepared pastry to the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Cool & Serve:
- Let the jalousie cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm with a side of dipping sauce or a fresh salad
