Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Rolling pin
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Pastry brush
• Knife or pizza cutter

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or heavy cream
• 1 cup (100g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
• 1/2 cup (75g) cooked and crumbled sausage or diced vegetables
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the cooked sausage or vegetables and shredded cheese.
3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a rectangle approximately 10×12 inches.
4. Add Filling: Transfer the puff pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Spread the egg mixture evenly over one half of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
5. Seal and Fold: Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a rectangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
6. Add Egg Wash: Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish.
7. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Cool and Slice: Allow the pastry to cool for a few minutes before slicing into bars. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Expert Tips

• Make It Your Own: Customize the filling with cooked bacon, spinach, diced bell peppers, or caramelized onions.
