Puff Pastry Baked Eggs

A delicious breakfast baked egg

These baked eggs in puff pastry don't only look stunning, but they taste delicious too. Made with puff pastry and eggs and your choice of toppings. I've used bacon and cheese, but the possibilities are endless.

Weekends are made for breakfast. Sometimes we need more than just a toasted bagel or a bowl of cereal. I like to take the time to make something to be savored.

Often I make homemade blueberry pancakes, or a baked blackberry french toast. But these baked eggs in puff pastry are my new favorite. They are perfect for a weekend breakfast or a holiday breakfast.

These baked eggs are made with a puff pastry crust, eggs, cheese and you could even add some chopped cooked bacon, ham or sausage.

Main ingredients

  • Puff pastry crust - these can be made the same day or make a day ahead of time. Use store bought pastry or make homemade easy puff pastry.
  • Eggs - pretty much the star of the show! You can add the eggs whole or scrambled. Cook them just the way you like - with the yolk runny or cooked all the way through.
  • Cheese - I used shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese. Add your favorite or leave out all together
  • Meat - totally optional! Use crumbled cooked bacon or sausage or finely diced ham.

To make baked eggs

  • Slice puff pastry dough into 4 inch squares or 4 x 5 inch rectangles
  • Brush with egg wash
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 minutes until golden
  • Allow pastry to cool. Slice a square in the center of the pastry and push center down. This will be your vessel for cooking the egg.

  • Add egg to the center of each puff pastry
  • Top with cheese and bacon (or your choice of toppings). Sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes until egg white is cooked through. Cook a few minutes longer if you prefer the yolk to be cooked through as well.

Prep ahead of time

To save time and make getting breakfast on the table even easier, you can prepare the puff pastry the day before. Just bake the puff pastry and allow to fully cool.

Store in a single layer in an airtight container or storage bag. Store at room temperature.

My recipe tips

  • Bake on parchment paper to help prevent sticking. If you don't have parchment paper, be certain to spray baking sheet with a nonstick spray.
  • Crack eggs into a small dish before adding to the pastry
  • If your eggs are too large for the pastry, its okay to allow the white to run over onto the tray. You could also remove a spoonful of the white before adding to the puff pastry.
  • If you like your yolk fully cooked, you can break the yolk before placing in the oven
  • Be certain oven is fully preheated before baking
  • Serve hot from the oven or while still warm

Variations

  • Scramble the eggs first and then add the scrambled mixture to each shell
  • Add cooked bacon, ham or sausage
  • Add sautéed veggies - mushrooms, bell peppers, roasted chili peppers. May need to make puff pastries a big larger to accommodate more ingredients.
  • Use your favorite cheese or leave out altogether.

Recipe Faqs

Can I make puff pastry eggs ahead of time?

You can prepare parts of this recipe ahead of time. Bake the puff pastry the day before and once cooled store in an airtight container.

What should I serve with these baked eggs?

Almost anything goes! Try serving fresh fruit, hot coffee, muffins and pastries.

Serving suggestions

For a holiday breakfast or brunch, serve with fresh squeezed juice, freshly brewed coffee, homemade hot chocolate, cranberry muffins and homemade pork breakfast sausage.

      What a fun and easy idea for weekend breakfasts! These are almost like a classier version of the classic egg-in-a-hole. Puff pastry makes everything better, doesn't it? I'm thinking I should surprise Laura and make a tray of these this weekend! 🙂

        We often make the egg-in-a hole, and you're right, quite similar, but taken up a notch! 🙂 Enjoy the weekend.
