Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold puff pastry; place on lined baking sheet. Trim 1-inch strips from each edge of pastry; set aside. Roll remaining pastry sheet into an 8-by-8-inch square. Brush a 1-inch band around pastry lightly with water. Place the strips around the pastry edges, trimming as needed without overlapping. Inside the strips, sprinkle pastry with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Prick the cheese-covered area all over with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes or until light golden. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
2. Step2
   Meanwhile, place bacon slices on a microwave-safe rack or a plate lined with paper towels. Cover with a paper towel. Microwave on HIGH for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp. Break into small pieces; set aside.
3. Step3
   In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, milk, cheddar cheese and green onions until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture over slightly cooled baked pastry, staying within borders. Using the back of a spoon, make four indentations in cheese mixture for eggs. One at a time, break the eggs into a small bowl or ramekin and slip them into the indentations, being careful not to break the yolks. Top with bacon pieces. Bake for 20 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are cooked but soft. To serve, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and chives, if desired. Cut into 4 squares.
