You will need a terrine mould to cook the stuffing. Line this with cling film or parchment paper.

Chill the stuffing for 3 hours.
Roll the puff pastry to pound coin thickness, around the size of a sheet of A4 paper.
Ensure the puff pastry is cold and begin to wrap your stuffing mix.
Place the stuffing onto one egg washes sheet, place the other sheet over and press gently to seal.
Now chill for ten minutes before decorating any edges you wish to.
Now egg wash the whole stuffing, chill and egg wash again.
