BREAKFAST IN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch square, then cut into 4 equal squares. Slightly fold and pinch the edges of each square to form 4 round tart shells. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and prick all over with a fork. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
• Let the tart shells cool slightly on the baking sheets. If the centers are very puffy, prick with a fork to deflate. Sprinkle evenly with the havarti and parmesan. Make a shallow well in the cheese in the center of each tart and crack an egg into each; season with salt and pepper. Top with the bacon, then return to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with chives.

BAKED CHEESY EGGS WITH LEEKS AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly grease/spray a 13x9-inch baking dish.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter; sauté the chopped leeks until they are tender. Place sautéed leeks into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Evenly sprinkle 1 cup ONLY of Havarti and the parmesan cheese over the leeks.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream, tarragon, salt, pepper and paprika; whisk until well beaten.
• Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish over the cheese layer.
• Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until set and lightly browned.
• Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Havarti and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

HAVARTI CHEESE PASTRY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Lay the puff pastry on the counter or any flat surface at room temperature to thaw for about 30 minutes, or put it in the fridge overnight so it will be thaw when you are ready.
• Carefully unfold the sheet and smooth the creases. Make sure there are no holes in the dough.
• Place the whole block of cheese in the middle and very gently fold the pastry around it like a present, making sure to seal it well. Wet your fingers and run them across the seams to make the dough adhere to itself and to ensure no cheese leaks out.
• Flip it over on a greased baking sheet seam side down. Whisk together the egg and water and brush lightly over the surface. Sprinkle with paprika to make it pretty.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown.
• Serve on your favorite cracker, I prefer Ritz.
• *If desired, spread the mustard on the pastry sheet before placing the cheese on it and folding for a little extra flavor.*.
