Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Prepare the puff pastry according to package instructions.
In a skillet, cook the ground pork until browned. Add diced onion and chopped celery, sauté until softened. Season with thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper.
Cut the puff pastry into rectangles. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center, fold the pastry over, and seal the edges with a fork.
Brush the top with beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and flaky.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a side of yogurt or pickles.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
