   • Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until fragrant.
   • Add the sweet corn and cook for a few minutes until it’s heated through.
   • Stir in the canned Tomato Chili Tuna, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients. If you prefer a spicier filling, add chili powder to taste. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
   • Cut the puff pastry into 11×11 cm squares. Lightly roll each square to make it slightly thinner.
   • Place a spoonful of the tuna filling in the center of each pastry square. Add a few pieces of hard-boiled egg on top of the filling.
   • Fold the pastry over the filling to form a pocket or rectangle, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a secure seal and a decorative touch.

3. Bake the Pastry:

   • Arrange the prepared pastry bites on the lined baking sheet.
   • Brush the top of each pastry with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.

4. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the puff pastry bites from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
   • Enjoy these savory bites warm with a side of tomato sauce or sambal for dipping.

Tips:

• Customization: Feel free to adjust the spice levels by varying the amount of chili powder or adding other spices according to your taste preferences.
• Make Ahead: These puff pastry bites can be assembled in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake. They also freeze well before baking, making them a great option for meal prep.

Enjoy your homemade savory tuna puff pastry bites, perfect for any occasion or simply as a delightful snack.
