Lazy Sunday mornings are the best, right? The sun’s peeking through the curtains, and your stomach is like, “Hey, breakfast time!” But let’s skip the boring cereal and go straight for something delicious—my puff pastry breakfast bites!

Picture this: buttery, flaky puff pastry stuffed with scrambled eggs, melty cheese, and maybe some sautéed veggies or crispy bacon (if you’re into that). It’s like a mini breakfast party in every bite!

They’re super easy to make—even when you’re still half-asleep. Let’s get cooking!

What you’ll need for this recipe:

  1. Puff Pastry:

    • Puff pastry is the star of the show here, providing that irresistibly flaky and buttery texture. You can find it in the frozen section of most grocery stores. Make sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before using.

  2. Eggs:

    • Eggs are a key component for the scrambled egg filling. They add protein and a creamy texture to the bites. Feel free to adjust the number of eggs based on your preference and the quantity of bites you're making.

  3. Cheese:

    • Shredded cheese adds a gooey and melty element to the filling. Cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or a blend of your favorite cheeses work well. Opt for a cheese that melts easily for the best results.

  4. Salt and Pepper:

    • Seasoning the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper enhances their flavor. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  5. Optional Fillings:

    • Get creative with your fillings! Consider adding diced bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, chopped green onions, cooked sausage crumbles, or any other ingredients you enjoy in your eggs. Make sure any veggies are cooked and excess moisture is removed to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

  6. Egg Wash:

    • An egg wash made with one beaten egg and a tablespoon of water is brushed on top of the pastry before baking. This creates a glossy finish and helps the pastry achieve a golden brown color.
