### 👩🍳 How to Make Spicy Puff Pastry Fritters:
1. **Preheat the Oven**
Set your oven to **200°C (390°F)** and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. **Prepare the Filling**
In a bowl, mix together the cheese, chopped chili, onion, and your chosen seasonings. Taste and adjust the spice level to your preference.
3. **Assemble the Fritters**
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into small squares or rectangles. Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of each piece. Fold over and press the edges to seal (use a fork for a decorative crimped edge).
4. **Brush and Bake**
Brush each fritter with beaten egg for that beautiful golden color. Place them on the baking tray and bake for **15–20 minutes**, or until puffed and golden brown.
5. **Cool Slightly and Serve**
Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving — they’ll be hot inside! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (spicy mayo or cool yogurt dip works great).
