Puff Pastry Pecan Pie

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Note: Use temperature listed on the puff pastry box.
2. Set puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
3. Cut the sheet into 6 equal squares.
4. In a small bowl whisk together the egg and water.
5. Brush the egg wash around the edges of each puff pastry square.
