Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 sheet puff pastry (9 ¾” square), thawed
- 1 cup grated white cheddar
- 4 medium eggs
- fresh basil leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Unroll thawed sheet of puff pastry and divide into 4 equal squares.
- Place each square into a mini cast iron pan (can use a baking sheet as well) and prick holes all over the bottom of each.
- Place pastry squares in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until barely browned and puffed.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese onto the bottom of each pastry square, creating a small nest and fill each with a cracked egg. Top each egg with an additional 2 tablespoons cheese and place tartlets back into the oven.
- Lower the oven temperature to 375˚F and bake tartlets for 7 to 9 minutes or until pastry has browned and egg whites have set, but yolks are still runny.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Top each tartlet with fresh basil leaves and serve.
