Using a knife, make 8 cuts from the edge of the marked inner circle outwards towards the corners and the midpoints of each side of the rectangular pastry. Ensure these cuts stop at the edge of the inner circle and do not cut into it.

Spoon the prepared egg and cream cheese mixture evenly into the central circular area of the puff pastry. Take one of the cut triangular pastry strips and fold it over the filling towards the center. Take the opposite triangular strip and fold it over the first one, overlapping slightly, towards the center. Continue this process, folding each pastry strip over the filling in an overlapping manner, until the entire filling is covered and a braided or woven pattern is formed on top. Gently press down the ends of the pastry strips to secure the filling.
