Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 4 slices sliced ham
• 4 units large egg
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon egg wash (optional, for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a 12x12 inch square.

Step 3

Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Step 4

Place one slice of ham in the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 5

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the ham on each square.

Step 6

Carefully crack one egg into a small bowl and gently pour it into the center of the ham and cheese. Repeat for all squares.

Step 7

Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of heavy cream over each egg, and then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Fold the edges of each puff pastry square inward to form a border around the filling, gently pinching the corners to seal. The center should remain open.

Step 9

Optionally, brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your Ham Egg Under a Blanket with a side salad or fruit for a complete meal!
