Ingredients
- 1 package (14.1 oz) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut four 3–4 inch rounds from thawed puff pastry. Score a smaller circle inside each round and prick the centers with a fork. Brush with egg wash and optionally sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Blind bake pastry rounds for 12–15 minutes until golden and puffed. Press down centers to create a well and reduce oven temp to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté shallot for 3–4 minutes, add garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Add spinach and cook until wilted, then drain excess moisture in a sieve.
- Return spinach to skillet and stir in cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan, and nutmeg. Cook over low heat until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon spinach filling into pastry wells, forming a center dip. Crack one egg into each well and season the egg lightly.
- Bake at 375°F for 12–18 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks remain soft. Let rest 1–2 minutes before garnishing with chopped chives and serving warm.
Notes
- Use mascarpone or ricotta instead of cream cheese if preferred.
- Blind-bake pastry and prep filling in advance to save time on serving day.
- Swap Parmesan for goat cheese, feta, or Gruyère for variation.
- Avoid overbaking—remove once egg whites are just set for jammy yolks.
- Reheat in the oven at 325°F for 10–12 minutes to maintain crispness.
