Simple Ingredients, Wholesome Flavours

You don’t need anything fancy to pull these off—just a handful of fridge staples and a roll of ready-made puff pastry. The filling is fresh and creamy with a subtle tang, while the pastry delivers the flaky crunch everyone loves.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Puff pastry: A ready-rolled sheet keeps this recipe quick and easy.
• Egg yolk and milk: Brushed on the pastry for a rich, golden finish.
• Sesame seeds: Add a subtle crunch and lovely visual contrast.
• Eggs: Hard-boiled and finely grated to create a fluffy, creamy base.
• Avocado: Mashed and mixed with lemon juice for that signature creamy texture and a touch of brightness.
• Plain yoghurt: Lightens the filling and adds a little tang.
• Chives and mustard: For a punch of flavour and colour.
• Salt and black pepper: To season everything perfectly.

How to Make Egg and Avocado Puff Cones

These cones are surprisingly simple to make, especially with a few handy tips and tricks. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

Prepare the Cones

Start by preheating your oven and lining a baking tray with parchment paper. Unroll your puff pastry and cut it into strips. If you have metal cone moulds, lightly grease them with oil. No moulds? Simply shape a few cones out of aluminium foil to use instead.

Wrap each pastry strip around the cones, slightly overlapping as you go. Brush the pastry with the egg yolk and milk mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds for a delicious finish. Place the wrapped cones onto the baking tray and bake until golden and puffed up. Once baked, let them cool before gently twisting them off the moulds.

Make the Creamy Filling

While the pastry cones bake, prepare your filling. In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the grated eggs, plain yoghurt, mustard, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until creamy and smooth.

For a more refined finish, transfer the mixture to a piping bag (or a zip-lock bag with the corner cut off) to easily fill the cones.

Assemble and Garnish

Once the pastry cones are completely cool, pipe the egg and avocado salad into each one.

Dip the open ends into chopped chives to create the look of a leafy carrot top. For an extra touch, press a small parsley stalk into the top of each cone—this playful garnish completes the look.

Perfect for Spring, Brunch, and Entertaining

These Egg and Avocado Puff Cones are a conversation starter. Not only do they taste fantastic, but they’re also visually charming—especially when styled on a platter with fresh greens or edible flowers for a garden-inspired vibe.

Serve them at Easter brunch, Mother’s Day celebrations, garden parties, or even baby showers. Kids and adults alike will love their cute “carrot” appearance, and the combination of creamy filling with flaky pastry is always a hit.

Looking to make them ahead? You can prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate it until you're ready to pipe. Just fill the cones shortly before serving to keep them crisp.

Egg and Avocado Puff Cones: Customise to Your Taste

Want to give this recipe a twist? Here are a few simple ways to customise it:

• Add herbs like dill or parsley to the filling for extra freshness.
• Make it dairy-free by swapping the yoghurt with a plant-based alternative.
• Spice it up with a pinch of paprika or a few drops of hot sauce.
• Try other fillings like tuna salad, chickpea mash, or herbed cream cheese.

These cones are endlessly versatile—just swap the filling based on the season or your favourite ingredients.
