Ingredients
- 1 package (14.1 oz) frozen puff pastry sheets
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 finely chopped shallot
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 10 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 4 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 4 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease four 4-inch ramekins.
- Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out four circles and gently press them into your ramekins.
- Bake the lined pastry with parchment and pie weights for 12-15 minutes. Once set, remove the weights and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until golden.
- Sauté the shallot and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, then add the spinach. Cook until it wilts.
- Mix in cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spoon the spinach mixture into the pastry shells. Crack an egg into each shell, season with salt and pepper, and brush the edges with the beaten egg.
- Sprinkle Everything bagel seasoning on top if using.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, depending on how runny you want your yolks.
- Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or low-fat cream cheese. You can also prepare shells and filling ahead of time; just add eggs before baking.
