1
Cut the puff pastry into small squares of about 10*10 cm. Grease the baking tray with vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to 180-200° and place the pastry to bake.

In about 25 minutes, your high pastries should be baked. Let them cool slightly and divide each pastry into 2 parts. Allow them to cool completely.
3
Bring the eggs to room temperature and place them in boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes, transfer to cold water, and poke each egg in several places. Cool in the water. This will make the eggs easier to peel.
- Chicken egg: 10 pieces

If the cucumbers have too tough a skin, peel them with a vegetable peeler. Cut the cucumbers into small (4-5 mm) cubes. Also chop the olives finely. For tarragon, take only the leaves; we won't need the stems.
- Lightly salted cucumbers: 4 pieces
- Anchovy-stuffed olives: 1 jar
- Tarragon: 3 stems

Chop the cooled eggs as finely as possible, an egg slicer will help you with this. Add them to the cucumbers, olives, and tarragon leaves. Also, finely chop the onion here.
