Ingredients (2 Servings)

  • 1 piece blitz puff pastry
  • 1/2 kg cheddar cheese, grated
  • 4 large eggs
  • 6 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • Kosher salt
  • Parsley leaves, for garnish

Directions

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 400°C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out puff pastry to a 5 1/2- by 20-inch rectangle that's about 1/4-inch thick. Trim edges and cut into four rectangular pieces.
  • Place puff pastry squares on baking sheet and fold over edges to create a raised crust, giving a slightly curved shape to the edges pastry. Using a fork, prick bottom of the pastry.
  • Bake pastry until puffed, golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then gently press center of pastry shells to deflate it and create a well for the egg.
  • Sprinkle cheese onto center of pastry shells. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into a puff pastry shell. Repeat with remaining eggs and shells. Arrange tomatoes, cut side up, on eggs and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Bake until egg white is just set and yolk is almost set, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley leaves and serve immediately.
