Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder and black pepper together, and scramble over medium heat until almost done. Eggs can still be a bit wet because they will fully cook in the oven.
  • In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add diced ham, bell pepper, and onions, stir, and cook until veggies are tender.

Pastry

  • Gently open up the mostly thawed puff pastry sheet and roll a few times until square on a lightly floured surface.
  • Place both pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese down the center of each puff pastry.
  • Add half the scrambled eggs to one pastry, then the remaining eggs on the other pastry.
  • Next, spoon half the ham mixture on one pastry, and then the remaining ham mixture on the second pastry.
  • Top each pastry with ½ cup of cheddar cheese.
  • Cut the side pieces at an angle and continue to make cuts into the pastry along each side making sure not to cut too close to the filling.
  • Start folding each piece over each other like a braid and secure.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water.
  • Brush egg wash over both pastries, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
