Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the 1 sheet puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into a 9-inch round; transfer to a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a bowl, mash the 1 cup strawberries with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp cornstarch until juicy but slightly chunky.
Step 3
Spread the strawberry mixture over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling to create a rustic crust.
Step 4
Beat the 1 egg and brush it over the pastry edges. Bake until golden and puffed, about 20 minutes, until the crust is deep golden and the filling is bubbling.
Step 5
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
