Ingredients
Base
- Puff Pastry Sheets (thawed if frozen) – enough to create desired number of bars
Filling
- Eggs – 3 large, whisked
- Cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) – 1 cup grated
- Cooked Breakfast Meats (bacon, sausage, or ham) – 1 cup chopped
- Vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach) – 1/2 cup chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Black Pepper – to taste
Finishing
- Egg Wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook any breakfast meats and sauté vegetables if desired. In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper, grate cheese, and chop all fillings so they’re ready to assemble.
- Roll and Cut Puff Pastry: Unfold puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface, roll slightly to smooth creases, then cut into rectangles or squares according to preferred bar size.
- Add Fillings: Spoon a portion of the egg mixture onto one half of each pastry square. Top with cheese, cooked meats, and vegetables, leaving a margin around edges.
- Seal the Bars: Fold the pastry over the filling and press edges firmly with a fork to seal, preventing filling leakage during baking.
- Brush with Egg Wash and Bake: Brush the tops with beaten egg wash to create a golden, glossy finish. Place the bars on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 15–20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Notes
- Keep puff pastry cold before baking for better puff and crispiness.
- Do not overfill to prevent soggy bars or bursting pastry.
- Use leftover vegetables, cheese ends, or meats to reduce waste.
- Assemble bars ahead and refrigerate for convenient ready-to-bake mornings.
- Monitor baking closely as puff pastry can burn quickly towards the end.
