Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four equal squares (you'll have 8 total).
Step 3
3. Place four pastry squares on the prepared baking sheet. Using a small knife, score a 1/2-inch border around each square, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
4. Brush the borders with the beaten egg and sprinkle with Everything bagel seasoning if using. Bake for 8-10 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.
Step 5
5. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
6. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add spinach in batches, cooking until wilted, about 3-4 minutes total.
Step 7
7. Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan, and nutmeg until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
8. Remove pastry from oven and gently press down the centers of each square. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the four squares, spreading it within the borders.
Step 9
9. Create a small well in the center of each spinach mound and carefully crack an egg into each well.
Step 10
10. Return to oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
Step 11
11. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh chives, and serve immediately.
You Must Know
- ✓For perfectly runny yolks, remove the pastries when the whites are just set but still slightly jiggly. They'll continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
- ✓If your puff pastry becomes too soft while working with it, pop it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up again.
- ✓For a make-ahead option, prepare the spinach filling a day ahead and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before assembling.
