Ingredients
A note about gluten: When a gluten-free puff pastry sheet is used, this recipe is gluten free.
½ pkg.
(1 sheet)
frozen puff pastry
6
eggs, divided
2 tbsp.
Kowalski's Everything Bagel Seasoning
2 tbsp.
Kowalski's Stone Ground Mustard
½ lb.
diced ham (such as leftover holiday ham)
½ cup
shredded Kowalski's Mild Cheddar Cheese
- freshly ground Kowalski's California Sea Salt and Kowalski's Black Peppercorns, to taste
- garnishes, to taste (optional): minced chives, crushed red pepper flakes and fresh arugula
Directions
- Let puff pastry thaw at room temperature until it can be unfolded without breaking (the pastry should be cool but pliable).
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Unfold pastry sheet onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a fork, pierce pastry all over, leaving a ½" border.
- Bake puff pastry in preheated oven for 10 min.
- Remove from oven; let cool for 5 min.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg. Brush egg wash over border of pastry; sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
- Spread mustard evenly over pastry, avoiding the border.
- Arrange ham evenly over pastry, leaving 5 round wells for the eggs. Crack 1 egg into each well; sprinkle with cheese.
- Return to oven; bake until eggs are cooked to desired doneness (about 12 min. for runny yolks).
- Remove from oven; let cool for 5 min.
- Season tart with salt and pepper; top with desired garnishes. Serve immediately.
Tasty Tips:
- No leftover ham? Find ham steaks in the Meat Department or ham sliced to order at the Deli Service Counter.
- Any variety of shredded cheese will work well in this recipe.
- If the pastry browns before the eggs are done, cover the exposed crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too dark.
