Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Rolling pin (optional)
• Small mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Pastry brush
• Knife or pizza cutter

Ingredients Overview

• Puff Pastry: The base for these bars, creating a flaky and buttery crust.
• Eggs: Bind the filling and add richness.
• Cheese: Melts into the filling, adding flavor and creaminess.
• Vegetables/Protein Options: Add your choice of sautéed spinach, cooked sausage, or diced bell peppers.

Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
• 4 large eggs, whisked (reserve 1 tablespoon for egg wash)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
• 1/4 cup sautéed spinach (optional)
• 1/4 cup cooked sausage or diced cooked chicken (optional)

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
   Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly on a floured surface, if needed. Cut each sheet into rectangles (approximately 4×6 inches).
3. Prepare the Filling:
   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs (reserving 1 tablespoon for the egg wash), cheese, and any optional vegetables or proteins. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Bars:
   Spoon a small amount of filling onto one half of each puff pastry rectangle, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the other half over the filling, sealing the edges with a fork.
5. Apply the Egg Wash:
   Brush the tops of the puff pastry with the reserved egg wash for a golden finish.
6. Bake the Bars:
   Place the bars on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the bars to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Seal Tightly: Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
• Add Spices: For extra flavor, sprinkle the filling with a pinch of paprika or garlic powder.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Fresh fruit or a fruit salad for a balanced breakfast.
• A cup of hot coffee or a smoothie to complement the savory flavors.
• Serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce for dipping.
