Indulge in this savory delight featuring spicy jalapeños, sweet red bell peppers, and creamy pepper jack cheese, all encased in a golden puff pastry. Topped with perfectly poached eggs and a zesty seasoning, this dish is an exciting twist on a classic brunch favorite.

Ingredients

🥐 1 puff pastry pack
🥚 6 eggs
🌶️ 1 red bell pepper
🌶️ 3 jalapeños
🧅 1/2 onion
🧀 12 slices of pepper Jack cheese
🧂 Zesty Anything bagel seasoning
🫒 Olive or cooking oil for brushing

Instructions

1- Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 380°F (195°C).
Dice the red bell pepper, jalapeños, and onion into small pieces. Mix them together.

2- Assemble Pastries:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the pepper, jalapeño, and onion mix into six small piles on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
Lay a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each pile.
Cut the puff pastry into six equal squares and drape each square over the cheese-covered vegetable piles.

3- Bake Pastries:

Brush the tops of the puff pastry with olive or cooking oil.
Sprinkle lightly with the zesty anything bagel seasoning.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

4- Poach the Eggs:

In a pot of simmering water, gently place eggs using a strainer to help get rid of excess runny whites.
Poach until the egg whites are set and firm.
Remove and let them drain on paper towels.

5- Finish and Serve:

Once the pastries are ready, carefully flip them over.
Place two poached eggs on top of each pastry and add another slice of pepper jack cheese.
Return to the oven briefly until the cheese begins to melt.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
