Servings: persons

1 (10 ounce) package frozen puff pastry shells
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped cooked ham
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
paprika
Garnish
chopped green onion

1
Bake four pastry shells according to package directions. Reserve remaining shells for another use.
2
Microwave milk in a 2 cup microwave-safe glass measuring cup on HIGH for 1 minute.
3
Melt 1 tablespoons butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat; gradually whisk in flour. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in warm milk; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 3-5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; whisk in 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese, salt and pepper.
4
Melt remaining 1 tbsp of butter in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ham and green onions and saute 2 minutes or until green onions are tender. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, 1-2 minutes or until eggs begin to set on bottom. Gently draw cooked edges away from sides of pan to form large peices. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes or until eggs are thickened and moist. Do not overstir. Gently fold in reserved Gruyere cheese sauce.
5
Spoon egg mixture into prepared pastry shells. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of Gruyere cheese and paprika and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
6
Can substitute extra-sharp white cheddar for Gruyere and chopped cooked chicken for ham.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
