Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 50 grams cold unsalted butter
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (0% fat)
• 60 milliliters cold water
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 0 nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to gently mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Stir in the Greek yogurt until just combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together but does not become too sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it for about a minute until it forms a cohesive ball.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow it to rest.

Step 7

While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 8

In a small bowl, crack one egg and beat it lightly. Set aside for later use as an egg wash.

Step 9

In another bowl, combine the remaining egg, black pepper, and chopped chives. Set aside.

Step 10

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into six equal squares.

Step 12

Spoon a small amount of the egg mixture onto the center of each square.

Step 13

Fold each square into a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal them tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for an extra secure seal.

Step 14

Place the prepared pastries on the lined baking tray. Lightly brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg wash.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 16

Allow the egg puffs to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.

Step 17

Enjoy your low-fat flaky egg puff pastries warm or at room temperature!
