Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the puff pastry sheets into 8 square pieces, 10x10 cm/ 4x4 inch large, a little more or less is fine. Place the squares on one or two baking sheets lined with baking paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry the berries.
Separate the eggs.
Grate the marzipan paste roughly, place it in a bowl together with the two egg whites and whisk with the mixer until frothy.
In a small bowl mix the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the middle of each pastry sheet with some of this mixture. Fold the corners of the pastry towards the middle of the pastry and brush them with the egg yolk mixture as well (see the picture above).
Divide the marzipan mixture evenly between the pastry squares, placing it in the middle of each square. Top with berries and almond slivers.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the puff pastry is cooked through and golden brown. You can serve them lukewarm or at room temperature. They taste best on the day you baked them.
