When in need of an easy, quick, and totally delicious breakfast, this is the go-to. These simple ingredients elevate the entire breakfast experience when they are arranged with a little bit of intentionality.
To Make These Savory Breakfast Squares..
Start with your choice of puff pastry. I use fillo factory or pepperridge farm brand. They both have a great puff pastry product. I defrost 1 sheet of puff pastry at room temperature for 50-60 minutes. Typically, a box has 2 sheets. I save the other sheet for another time since I am only making 4 squares. If you are doubling the recipe to make for 6-8 people, use both sheets of puff pastry.
Once the puff pastry is defrosted, it is cut in half, horizontally and vertically. Then the edges are scored and the squares are arranged on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Then, the bacon is cut in half and arranged as an X on the puff pasties. A deep indentation in made in the center of the squares with the back of a spoon. This is to help the egg stay together in the center. If some part of the egg white oozes out, don’t sweat it, it will still turn out beautifully. Most importantly, you don’t want the egg yolk wandering from the center. Last, sprinkle on a bit of salt and pop them in the oven (carefully, of course). Bake until the edges of the puff pastry are golden and crisp, which is approximately 18-20 minutes and enjoy!

Savory Breakfast Squares
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted at room temperature for 50 minutes
- 4 bacon strips, cut in half
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- chives, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
-
Lay out puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. If needed, give it a gentle roll with a rolling pin if puff pastry is uneven. Cut in half, horizontally and vertically, to create 4 squares. To score the pastry dough, use a knife to cut a shallow ½-inch border along the edges of each square, making sure to not cut all the way through. This will help the edges rise when baking. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet.
-
Lay bacon strips onto puff pastry squares to resemble an X. Using the back of a spoon, push down onto the center of the squares to make a deep indentation. This will help the eggs stay in the center.
-
Carefully crack one egg into the center of each square. It's okay if some of the egg white oozes to the side. Sprinkle with salt. Place into oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until edges of puff pastry are golden and crisp. Garnish with chives.
Recipe Notes
Store any remaining breakfast squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or oven as needed.
