Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Unroll the puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  2. Prick the pastry with a fork and score a 2 cm border without cutting through it.
  3. Spread the jam over the base, inside the border.
  4. Hull and halve the strawberries, then arrange them closely on the jam.
  5. Sprinkle with sugar and vanilla, then brush the border with the egg yolk beaten with milk.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pastry is nicely golden.
  7. Let it cool slightly and serve as it is or with whipped cream.

Variations and tips

Raspberry version. Replace the strawberries with raspberries, which are tangier.
