The lineup couldn’t be easier: store-bought puff pastry, eggs, cheddar cheese and chives. Best of all, ramekins have been replaced by an edible alternative, as these easy baked eggs are cooked directly in cheese-filled puff pastry cups. Translation: Clean up is a total breeze.

Cheesy Puff Pastry Baked Eggs recipe from justataste.com
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17.3 ounce package), thawed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
  • Place the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface and cut out four circles about 4 ½ inches in diameter each. (See Kelly's Note.) Transfer the puff pastry circles to the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and score a circle border about ¼ inch from the edge of each circle. Prick the centers then refrigerate the puff pastry for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the fridge and transfer it immediately into the preheated oven. Bake the puff pastry for 8 minutes until the edges have risen.
  • Remove the puff pastry from the oven, sprinkle the cheese in the centers then crack an egg into each circle. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper then bake for an additional 12 minutes until the egg whites are fully cooked. Remove the baked eggs, top with the chives and serve.

Kelly's Note:

  • You can use a cookie cutter, a large glass or a plate to outline the shape of the puff pastry circles.

    1. Hi Brenda – I haven’t made this recipe using crescent rolls so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be.

  1. I must admit I cheated by using Pepperidge Farms pastry cups!
    I used your recipe and they came out delish

  2. Just simply love this idea, just perfect for a family of 2. But what can you do if you want the egg cooked a little more. Will letting it stay in the oven a little longer burn the edges, or can I put foil around the edges in the beginning and take it off after I add the egg?

  3. 5 stars
    There were quick to prepare, very tasty, and just enough for our Christmas morning breakfast! We added some hash browns on the side.

  4. 4 stars
    Looks and tastes great. Be careful, the size of the circle is critical. Made mine too small the first time. Second time added a little Siracha… Very nice!

  5. 5 stars
    Simple but elegant. Different cheeses add a little variation. For 4 years in a row, this is all my young daughter asks for yearly on her birthday brunch and any holiday!
    It is tricky to gauge the cooking of the whites vs going to long and getting the yolks tough…

  6. Sorry, we found these to be bland. Not much flavor at all. The eggs didn’t cook nicely either. In order to be the the whites done it took too long and the yolks were hard☹️

  7. tried this today, wonderful but I added a spoonful of salsa over the cheese and then the eggs and had a great huevos rancheros in as flash….looks great on a buffet.0

  8. Yummo! And even better, sit the puff pastry rounds in a muffin or yorkshire pud pan, and voila, instant pastry cup!

  9. I am definitely going to make these cheesey puff pastry eggs this Sunday for brunch. I can’t wait to taste these. My mouth is already watering!

  10. 5 stars
    Muchas gracias por compartir tan rica, económica y fácil receta.
    Espero no perderme ninguna de tus recetas, y por supuesto, hacerlas para mi familia.

  11. Would putting dried beans in middle solve the puffed middle problem? Just wondering. Haven’t made this yet, but it sounds amazing.
