Strawberry Millefeuille

Ingredients:

• 1 roll of store-bought or homemade puff pastry
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 to 2 tbsp milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar 
• 1/3 cup sugar 
• 9 oz. Mascarpone
  
• 9 oz. strawberries
• Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Roll out the puff pastry to 2-3 mm thickness. Beat the egg yolk with 1 to 2 tbsp of milk, and brush the pastry with it. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 min. Cut the puff pastry into 3 equal parts. Remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Separate the egg yolks from the whites, and add a pinch of salt along with 1 tbsp powdered sugar. Beat until stiff, before adding the sugar to the egg yolks and whisking. Mix the mascarpone with the egg yolks, and carefully fold in the egg whites, to make the whipped cream.
4. Hull, rinse and dry the strawberries. Cut them in half lengthways, before placing one section of puff pastry on a plate. Spread with whipped cream, and top with half of the strawberries. Place the second section of puff pastry on top and layer with more cream and strawberries. Top with the third sheet of puff pastry, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
5. Carefully cut the millefeuille into even rectangles.
6. Enjoy!
