1. Divide the puff pastry in half; roll out to form two discs;
2. place the first disc on a baking sheet; spread a layer of almond paste on top; place the bean inside; cover with the second circle of pastry;
3. using a knife, create a decorative pattern on the top of the pastry; brush with the beaten egg yolk;
4. bake at 180° C (350° F) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is nicely browned.
