Ingredients Breakdown

To whip up this incredible Baked Eggs Napoleon, you’ll need the following:

Let’s Get Cooking!

Ready to dive into making this delicious Baked Eggs Napoleon? Here’s how it’s done:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This is super important; you want it nice and hot so the pastry puffs perfectly!
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. It can be a bit tricky, but roll it out until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Then, cut it into squares large enough to fit your baking dish. You might need to get creative with the scraps, trust me, nobody wants to waste that crisp goodness!
Place the pastry in the dish (a greased pie dish or baking dish works beautifully) and pre-bake for 10-15 minutes or until it’s slightly golden. You want it to be firm enough to hold all that eggy goodness without getting soggy.
While the pastry is baking, in a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated cheese, a couple pinches of salt, and pepper. Mix it all up until you have a nice, homogenous mixture. If you want to get fancy, feel free to add some sautéed onions or spinach at this stage, more flavor is never a bad thing!
When your pastry is ready, pour the egg mixture over the pre-baked pastry, making sure it’s equally distributed.
Bake in the oven for another 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is beautifully golden brown. Oh man, this is the part where your kitchen starts smelling heavenly!
Finally, garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm. You can let it cool for a minute, but I doubt you’ll be able to resist diving in!
