Elevate your snack game with Savory Puff Shell Sliders—the viral Gen Z-approved mini bites you’ve been craving! These golden, shell-shaped puff pastries are filled with creamy avocado tuna salad and topped with sliced egg for a cute, flavorful, and highly photogenic treat. Ideal for brunch, bento boxes, or social-worthy snacking!

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)

  • 1 avocado, mashed

  • 1 can tuna, drained

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

  • Optional Garnish: microgreens, sesame seeds, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Roll out the puff pastry slightly. Use a shell-shaped cutter or cut freehand into pairs of matching shell shapes.

  3. Lightly score ridges into the top pastry pieces for a seashell look.

  4. Place bottom pastry pieces on the baking sheet. Brush edges with water, then gently place the matching top pieces. Press lightly to seal.

  5. Brush tops with egg wash.

  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes until puffed and golden. Let cool slightly.

  7. While puffs bake, mix mashed avocado, tuna, mayo or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  8. Slice the cooled shells horizontally like buns.

  9. Fill with a spoonful of avocado tuna salad and top with an egg slice.

  10. Garnish with chili flakes, sesame seeds, or microgreens if desired. Serve fresh or pack in stylish bento boxes!

Notes

  • Use flavored tuna (like spicy or lemon herb) for added dimension.

  • These are best served fresh but can be prepped in advance and filled later.

 

  • Customize with alternative fillings like chicken salad, egg salad, or hummus and roasted veggies.
