Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry and Eggs

2 sheets Puff Pastry
12 Small Eggs

Toppings

12 slices Prosciutto
1 cup Microgreens
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

Seasonings

Salt, to taste
Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the tarts.
Prepare puff pastry. Cut the two sheets of puff pastry into 12 even squares to create individual tart bases.
Shape tart edges. Fold the edges of each puff pastry square inward to form a raised border, creating a tart shell that will hold the egg and fillings.
First bake with egg wash. Brush the folded pastry edges with egg wash to encourage browning and bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes to set the pastry.
Cool pastry shells. Remove the partially baked pastry from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes to prevent overcooking the egg in the next step.
Add fillings. Gently place one slice of prosciutto and one small egg into each tart shell. Season each tart with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste.
Bake with fillings. Return the tarts to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully cooked and the yolks reach your preferred level of doneness.
Finish toppings. Remove the tarts from the oven and immediately top each with a generous handful of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh microgreens for a burst of flavor and freshness.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and appearance.
Adjust baking time depending on how runny or firm you prefer your egg yolks.
Microgreens add a fresh, peppery bite—feel free to substitute with arugula or baby spinach if unavailable.
For easier handling, use puff pastry sheets that are well chilled.
If you want crispier crusts, bake the pastry a bit longer before adding the egg.
