Kelley’s Tips
Before You Get Started
- Thaw the puff pastry. Make sure you plan ahead and give the puff pastry time to thaw. You can either thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter for about 30 minutes to ensure it’s easy to work with but still cold.
- Cook the bacon in the oven. While preparing the eggs and puff pastry, cook the bacon in the preheated oven. Lay the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-20 minutes, until it has reached the desired level of crispiness.
- Don’t overcook the eggs. Slightly undercook the scrambled eggs since they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
Ingredients Needed
- Puff pastry: The star of the dish, puff pastry, creates a buttery, flaky base that crisps up beautifully in the oven. I recommend thawing it out in the fridge overnight.
- Bacon: Cooked to crispy perfection, crumbled bacon adds a smoky, salty flavor and the perfect crunch to each bite.
- Eggs: The heart of this breakfast classic, eggs provide a soft, fluffy texture and pair perfectly with the other ingredients.
- Heavy Cream: Just a splash of cream makes the eggs extra velvety and luxurious.
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Adds a bold, tangy bite that complements the eggs and bacon perfectly. You can also use mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack if you want to switch things up.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: A savory finishing touch with sesame, poppy seeds, garlic, and onion that adds a burst of flavor.
How to make Bacon Egg and Cheese Pastries
- Whisk the eggs: Add eggs and cream to a small bowl. Whisk to combine then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs: Heat butter in a medium skillet and once melted add in the eggs. Cook over medium heat and scramble the eggs. It’s ok for them to be softer / runnier. They will continue to cook in the oven. Remove the eggs from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Place puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut into 9 squares. Stretch out each square to 3 x 3 inches.
- Add the toppings: Top each square with shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon.
- Fill the pastries: Add 1 egg to a bowl and whisk to combine. (This is your egg wash) Fold over one of the sides of puff pastry and brush with the egg wash. Fold the opposite side and place on top to create a bundle.
- Top with egg wash and seasoning: Brush each puff pastry bundle with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with everything seasoning.
- Bake: Bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy! Serve immediately and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pastries ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the pastries the night before, refrigerate them, and bake fresh in the morning. Alternatively, bake them completely, store in an airtight container, and reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm.
Can I freeze the pastries?
Absolutely! After baking and cooling, freeze the pastries in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in a 375°F oven for about 15–20 minutes.
What if I don’t have everything bagel seasoning?
You can leave it out or sprinkle the pastries with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and a pinch of garlic and onion powder for a similar flavor.
What can I serve with the pastries?
Pair them with fresh fruit, a simple salad, or even a side of roasted potatoes for a complete meal!
