  18. Spread the frangipane on the first puff pastry dough, leave a 3cm space from the edge. Add the bean in the frangipane. On the side if possible, it limits the chances of finding it too quickly later.
  19. Mix the egg yolk with a tbsp of water for the egg wash.
  20. Brush the 3 cm you left free on the edge of your cake with the egg wash.
