- 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed, and cut into four equal squares
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 eggs
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the four squares on top of the parchment paper-lined baking sheet an inch or two apart from each other.
- Option 1: Place an oven-proof ramekin on top of the center of each of the squares. Bake at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, just until the edges of the pastry puff up a bit. Option 2: Or, bake them as is for 6-8 minutes, remove from the oven, and then immediately place an oven-proof ramekin on top of the center of each of the squares. Press down gently to create a little dent.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each puff pastry square.
- Gently crack one egg over the indentation in the center of each square.
- Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the eggs are set. The puff pastry will be lightly browned but shouldn't be dark brown.
