Puffed Eggs Surprise
(10 servings)
- 2 packages Pepperidge Farm puffed pastry shells (baked according to directions)
-
1 dozen eggs - beaten
-
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
-
1/4 cup chopped ham
-
2 Tablespoons chopped scallions
-
5 large mushrooms (sliced and sauteed)
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup butter
-
2 cups milk
-
1 additional cup Monterey Jack cheese - grated
Scramble eggs until wet and soft, fold in the ham, scallions and 1/4 cup of cheese and put in prepared puffed pastry shell. Put back in oven for 5 minutes to crisp shell and finish cooking egg. Cover with cheese sauce. Add sauteed mushrooms for garnish.
For Cheese Sauce: Mix together flour and butter until texture is like wet sand. Blend in milk; cook until thickens, boil slowly. Add 1 cup of cheese, blend but do not boil.
I like making these for group brunches. They look and taste special without having to do a lot of work. Plus, all servings are ready to eat at the same time.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank wcat_1 for this recipe.
