Easy and finger-licking-delicious breakfast pastry. Flaky puff pastry topped with honey ham, sharp white cheddar cheese and eggs.

What’s your favorite thing to have for breakfast?

Unlike my little guy, I am not a huge fan of pancakes or waffles. I know, I know, “hiss” at me! I do love egg dishes thought and I’ll take pastries any day. If I can put two together, well that’s just perfection. That’s probably why I’ve been obsessed with egg souffles in pastry and these breakfast pastry squares.

I’ve had a little love-hate relationship with a great Starbucks pastry. I love their Ham and Cheese Squares but I hate having to go out and get it. (Plus I can make 8 pastries at home for the cost of three at the coffee shop.) So I make my own breakfast pastry that is inspired by the Starbucks savory squares. You can make your own in under 30 minutes. Trust me, you will want to make them because they are scrumptious!

I don’t add Béchamel sauce to my pastries through because I feel like it would be way too much with the egg. As delicious as Béchamel is, I prefer having an egg on top. If you are looking for a hardier breakfast though, feel free to mix in some Béchamel or white gravy with the ham and cheese mixture, or pour a tablespoon of sauce in each pastry.

    can I bake the puff pastry with the ham and cheese a little, before adding the egg ?
    I found the egg to be a little overcooked, but wanted the pastry to be nice and golden.
    Thank you

      Of course! I you prefer to have your egg at different level of doneness, then you can add it a little later 🙂
