Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 4 slices sliced ham
- 4 units large egg
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon egg wash (optional, for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12x12 inch square.
Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Place one slice of ham in the center of each puff pastry square.
Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the ham on each square.
Carefully crack one egg into a small bowl and gently pour it into the center of the ham and cheese. Repeat for all squares.
Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of heavy cream over each egg, and then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Fold the edges of each puff pastry square inward to form a border around the filling, gently pinching the corners to seal. The center should remain open.
Optionally, brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Ham Egg Under a Blanket with a side salad or fruit for a complete meal!
