Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 6 prosciutto slices
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin or a similar baking dish.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 6 equal squares, large enough to line each cup of the muffin tin.

Step 3

Carefully press each puff pastry square into the muffin tin cups, ensuring the edges slightly overhang. Set aside while preparing the filling.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 6

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, milk, the remaining salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Assemble the pies by layering each muffin cup with a slice of prosciutto, followed by a spoonful of wilted spinach, and a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Carefully pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about ¾ of the way. Crack the two remaining eggs and gently place one yolk on top of the filling in each cup for a vibrant presentation.

Step 9

Fold the corners of the puff pastry over the top of the filling, leaving a small opening for the yolk to peek through.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, and the eggs are set.

Step 11

Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin. Carefully lift them out and serve warm or at room temperature.
