Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Baked Eggs Napoleon
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 30 minutes until they become pliable. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the pastry is ready, cut it into squares, approximately 4x4 inches. Score a ½-inch border around the edges and brush the center with an egg wash.
- Place the prepared pastry squares on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced shallots and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add fresh spinach to the sautéed shallots and garlic, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes, and drain any excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with cream cheese, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Spoon the creamy mixture into the wells of the baked pastry squares. Make small indentations in the filling for the eggs.
- Carefully crack an egg into each indentation, keeping the yolks intact.
- Return the filled pastry to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until egg whites are set.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with finely chopped chives.
