Ingredients
- 1 Sheet Puff Pastry (Room Temperature)
- 1/4 cup Diced Mushrooms
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere Cheese (about 5oz block)
- 1/2 cup Diced Ham
- 3 tbsp Sour Cream
- 2 Large Eggs
- 10-15 Cherry Tomatoes (cut in half length-wise)
- 1 Egg Well-Beaten
- Dash of Salt & Pepper
- 1 tbsp Chives or Dried Chives
- Sprinkle of Garlic Powder
- Sprinkle of Onion Powder
How to
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Meanwhile, cook mushrooms in olive oil in a large skillet on the stove until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Then, on a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut into a tree shape. You’ll be able to use the two triangle pieces from the first tree to create the second tree.
- From the leftover puff pastry from the cutouts, cut out two stars using a star cookie cutter and cut out a trunk for the second tree.
- Next, use the beaten egg as glue to attach the stars to each tree and the trunk to the second tree.
- Then, brush the beaten egg alongside all the edges of the putt pastry and on the star.
- Add half of the mushroom cheese sauce to each tree and spread to within 1 inch of the edges.
- Top with the rest of the cheese, ham and tomatoes.
- Cook in the oven about 8 minutes.
- Next, take the pizza out and carefully crack one egg on each pizza. I placed this near the middle so it wouldn’t leak over the edge.
- Cook until egg is set. About 12 minutes. If the puff pastry starts getting dark, cover with foil loosely.
- Remove from oven and top with chives, garlic & onion powder.
The recipe is so fun and festive for the whole family. Who doesn’t love a personal sized pizza?!
My husband said this is what puff pastry was meant to be like. It’s one of our favorite breakfast ideas in our house!
Perfect for Christmas Morning!
