Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry, thawed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (or sausage, ham, or veggies)
- 1/4 cup Milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Preparation and Topping
- 1 tbsp Butter, for greasing
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil, for brushing
- 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the cooked bacon (or chosen meat/veggies) and shredded cheddar cheese to combine well.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 4 equal rectangles or squares, depending on your preferred size.
- Assemble Bars: Spoon the egg mixture onto the center of each pastry piece. Fold the edges over the filling to form a bar shape and press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the stuffed pastry bars on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and, if desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry turns golden brown and the filling is fully set.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the bars to cool slightly for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if you like, then serve warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast bars.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with sausage, ham, or even sautéed vegetables to cater to dietary preferences.
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed before working with it to avoid cracking.
- Brush the pastry with olive oil or melted butter for a shiny, golden crust.
- These bars can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; reheat in the oven to enjoy warm.
