Description

Savory baked puff pastry rounds topped with eggs, sun‑dried tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan—perfect for an elegant breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg + 1 tbsp water + 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (egg wash)
  • 1/4 cup sun‑dried tomatoes, julienne, packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped, packed
  • 4 large eggs (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Lay the puff pastry on the sheet and use a 3″ round cutter to cut four circles (don’t remove the cut-outs).
  3. Whisk together 1 egg, water, and mustard for egg wash; brush around the circles.
  4. Press tomatoes and spinach into the pastry around the circles; brush again with egg wash.
  5. Bake on the bottom rack for 12 minutes.
  6. Remove, re‑cut and discard the pastry circles.
  7. Crack one egg into each opening; return to oven and bake 4–5 minutes until eggs are set to preference.
  8. Sprinkle with Parmesan, salt, and pepper; cut into four slices and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure puff pastry stays cold for maximum puff.
  • Use a bottom‑rack placement to properly cook the pastry base.
  • Adjust baking time for runny or firm yolks.
  • Add-ins: olives, prosciutto, or mushrooms make tasty variations.
