Ingredients
- 300 grams puff pastry
- 12 eggs
- 1 zucchini
- 5 slices of bacon
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- Green onions (to taste)
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Puff Pastry
Start by laying a 300-gram sheet of puff pastry over a 12-hole cupcake tray. Gently press the pastry into the holes using a second cupcake tray. Don’t have a second tray? Use a spoon or your hands to carefully shape the pastry into the cups.
Step 2: Fill with Eggs
Crack one egg into each pastry cup. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 3: Prep the Toppings
- Grate the zucchini using the largest holes on a box grater.
- Chop the bacon slices into small pieces.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
Distribute the grated zucchini, chopped bacon, and 50 grams of grated Parmesan cheese evenly across the cups. Add chopped green onions to taste for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 5: Trim and Seal the Pastry
Cut the excess pastry around the edges of the tray and between the cups. Gently press the edges together to seal.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the tray in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Serve and Enjoy!
Once golden brown and puffed, your breakfast cups are ready to serve. The combination of flaky pastry, creamy eggs, and savory toppings will have everyone asking for seconds!
