Easy Puff Pastry Baked Eggs

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted and cut into 4 squares (my squares were about 4")
• 1/3 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
• 4 eggs
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. 2

   Lay puff pastry squares out on the parchment, leaving an inch or so of space between each one. Place a small oven-safe baking dish in the center of each puff pastry square.

3. 3

   Bake puff pastry with the ramekin weights for 6-7 minutes until pastry has puffed up around the edges of each ramekin but not yet begun to brown.

4. 4

   Remove puff pastry tray from oven and remove ramekins. You should be left with a nice indent in each puff pastry piece - this is where the egg will go!

5. 5

   Sprinkle a bit of shredded cheddar cheese over each puff pastry square, then crack one egg into the indent of each square.

6. 6

   Return tray to oven for another 12-14 minutes until eggs have set and puff pastry has lightly browned. (If you like your eggs well done, you may need to extend the cooking time).

7. 7

   Top baked eggs with salt, pepper, a dusting of parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
