Puff Pastry Breakfast Cups Recipe by Tasty

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

Make three vertical cuts from top to bottom of each puff pastry sheet. The cuts should be about 2.5-inches (6-cm) apart. Repeat horizontally to make 18 squares.

Step 3

Brush a square pastry lightly with water then place another square on top of it. Cut off any uneven edges. Repeat with the remaining squares.

Step 4

Place the square pairs about 1-inch apart on a baking sheet, and brush the top of each with the egg wash.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is a pale golden color. Remove from oven and let cool.

Step 6

In a large pan, combine olive oil, peppers, salt and pepper. Cook for 8 minutes or until the peppers have softened.

Step 7

Cut a rectangle in the middle of each square puff pastry and push it down. Fill the inside of the puff with a thin layer of bacon, cheddar cheese, and peppers. Use a small spoon or utensil to push the layers down. Carefully crack an egg on top.

Step 8

Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until egg white is no longer translucent or runny.

Step 9

Serve with pepper and chives.

Step 10

Enjoy!
