  2. Seal Edges Firmly: Press the edges of the puff pastry together firmly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  3. Egg Wash for Shine: Brushing with an egg wash not only helps seal the edges but also gives the puffs a beautiful golden sheen.
  4. Add Texture with Seeds: Sprinkling sesame seeds adds a subtle crunch and an attractive finish.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Monitor the puffs closely towards the end of baking to ensure they achieve a perfect golden color without burning.
