Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- 4 eggs
- salt
- pepper
- crumbled feta
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured piece of parchment and cut it into 4 rectangles
- Put the parchment paper on a sheet tray. Using a fork pierce the center of the puff pastry, leaving a half inch border around the sides untouched
- Put the puff pantry in the oven and let it cook for 10 minutes
- While the puff pastry is cooking heat up a saute pan over medium high
- Add the butter and once melted add the shallot, cooking for about 5 minutes
- To the shallot add the minced garlic and asparagus pieces. Let it cook stirring often for another 5 minutes
- Add the frozen peas, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes
- Using a spoon push down the center of the cooked puff pastry and add a few spoon fulls of the asparagus mixture
- Crack an egg on top of the mixture verrrryyyyy slowly. Beware: the egg has a tendency to want to run everywhere
- Once all of the eggs are on top sprinkle them with some salt, pepper, and crumbled feta and put them into the oven to let them cook for another 12-14 minutes, or until the egg whites are set up but the yolk is still runny
- That’s it! I love this recipe because you can honestly have it any time of day. Pair it with a mimosa and you have the perfect brunch. Yum!
