Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, making 8 squares in total.
Step 3
Place the puff pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each square for expansion.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, heavy cream, salt, and ground black pepper until fully combined.
Step 5
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Spoon a small amount of the scrambled eggs onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Step 7
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the scrambled eggs.
Step 8
Fold the edges of the puff pastry squares slightly inward to form a border around the filling.
Step 9
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg and use it to brush the edges of the puff pastry for a golden finish.
Step 10
Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious cheese and egg puffs!
