Step 3: Assemble the Pastries
Place your pastry squares on the lined baking sheet.
- Layer with cheese first (about a tablespoon per square).
- Add one slice of partially cooked bacon on top.
- Create a little well in the center and carefully crack an egg into each pastry square.
- Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
If your pastries are small, consider baking the egg slightly scrambled, to prevent overflow. You can gently whisk the egg before pouring it in for this effect.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the pastries in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the egg is cooked to your liking. For runny yolks, keep an eye on the oven after 15 minutes; for fully set eggs, bake closer to 20 minutes.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Once baked, let the pastries cool for 2-3 minutes—they’ll be hot! Sprinkle with chopped chives, a little extra cheese, or paprika for color and extra flavor. Serve immediately while the puff pastry is flaky, the bacon is savory, and the egg is tender.
Family Tradition Tip:
These pastries are perfect for making in batches, so everyone can grab one without waiting. Pair them with fresh orange juice, coffee, or a side of sautéed veggies to make your Sunday morning breakfast feel extra special.
