Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Remove the pan from heat source and transfer the strawberries to a bowl. Reserve about 1 tsp of strawberry sauce for the glaze. Let cool for 15-20 minutes.

- Egg wash: In a small bowl: combine egg, water and whisk. Brush the egg wash on top of the pastries.
