6 steps

01
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking tray with parchment.
02
Mix the ricotta cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth and thick.
03
Lightly dust the work surface with the all-purpose flour, then roll the puff pastry just enough to even it out.
04
Cut the puff pastry into rectangles, place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each piece, and fold into diamond-shaped parcels. Pinch the ends gently, leaving the center slightly open so the filling can puff as it bakes.
05
Brush the tops with the egg.
06
Bake until the pastries are deeply golden, crisp, and puffed, about 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
