6. Crack an egg on top of the yuca mash, being careful not to break the yolk.
7. Fold the pastry over to create a pocket, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
8. Brush the tops with a little oil or beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
