2. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Then, add the eggs, season with salt and pepper and scramble. Set aside to cool completely. 
3. Place 2 sheets of puff pastry dough onto a lightly-floured surface and unfold. Cut each sheet into 6 rectangles, 12 total. Place 6 of the rectangles in a single layer onto a lined baking sheet.
