- Gradually pour in vegetable broth, stirring continuously; simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

- Portion filling into ramekins, sprinkle Gruyère cheese on top.
- Cover with puff pastry rounds, press edges to seal; brush with a beaten egg.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
