Bacon, Egg and Cheese Pastry Shells

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F. Place the pastry shells onto a baking sheet.

   Step 2

   Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed. Remove the pastry shells from the baking sheet and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove the pastry “tops” and the soft pastry underneath and discard. Return the pastry shells to the baking sheet.

   Step 3

   Crack 1 egg into each pastry shell.

   Step 4

   Bake for 15 minutes or until the eggs are set. Top each pastry with 1 teaspoon cheese, 1 tablespoon bacon and 1/2 teaspoon chives.

2. TIPS

   Step 5

   • Place Puff Pastry shells on ungreased baking sheets with “top” facing up. Place pastry shells about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

   • To ensure that Puff Pastry shells will rise evenly, score the sides horizontally with a small knife.

   Step 7

   • Unfilled baked Puff Pastry shells may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

   Step 8

   • Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 400°F oven. Do not bake shells in a microwave or a toaster oven.
