Cooking Directions

  • Beat the egg yolk and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.
  • Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 12-inch square. Cut the pastry into 4 (6-inch) squares. Cut 1/2-inch strips from each side of 1 square. Brush the edges of the pastry square with the egg mixture. Place 1 strip on each edge of the square, trimming to fit. Prick the center of the square with a fork. Repeat with the remaining squares. Brush the squares with the egg mixture.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
  • Cook the eggs as desired (poached or scrambled). Top the eggs with the cheese. Spread the pastries evenly with the mustard. Top each pastry with 2 slices ham and 1 egg topped with cheese. Sprinkle with thinly sliced chives, if desired.
