Ingredients

  • 6 eggs plus 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup diced green chilies
  • 4 slices ham sliced thick
  • 1 tomato sliced thin
  • 1 pound puff pastry sheets two sheets
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry in the fridge overnight or on the counter for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, and salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan.
  • Once eggs are cooked, add green chiles. Stir to combine.
  • Cut each pastry sheet into 4 equally sized squares. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
  • Cut out pieces of ham that will fit on one half of the pastry square and put one piece on each pastry square. Make sure to leave a margin on the edges for crimping the pies shut.
  • Next, add a tomato slice to each pastry square on top of the ham.
  • Then, scoop a small spoonful of egg mixture on to each pastry square on top of the tomato.
  • Top the eggs with a pinch of shredded cheese.
  • Fold the top piece of the pastry over the fillings and crimp the edges with a fork.
  • In a small bowl, whisk one egg until combined. Using a pastry brush, brush a small amount of egg wash onto the top of each pastry.
  • Top each pastry with another pinch of cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
