Ingredients

Serves 6

　　6 large eggs

　　2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar Jack cheese

　　6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 6 tablespoons)

　　1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Step 3

Crack 1 egg into each pastry shell.

　　

Step 4

Bake for 15 minutes or until the eggs are set. Top each pastry with 1 teaspoon cheese, 1 tablespoon bacon and 1/2 teaspoon chives.

　　

TIPS

Step 7

• Unfilled baked Puff Pastry shells may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

　　

Step 8

• Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 400°F oven. Do not bake shells in a microwave or a toaster oven.
