- Lay the two defrosted puff pastry sheets out under the all-purpose flour, turn the round pans/ramekins you are using to bake the pot pies upside down on each puff pastry sheet and use a knife to cut around it to cut out the puff pastry tops of your pot pies
- Add healthy scoops of the risotto mixture into the ramekins, brush the egg wash along the top of the edges of the round pans/ramekins (this will help the puff pastry adhere)
- Place the round puff pastry to the top of the filled round pans/ramekins, brush with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with ground black pepper, cut four small slits on the top and bake on 400 degrees uncovered for 20 minutes or until golden brown
