These Puff Pastry Breakfast Cups With Honey Dijon Sauce are so easy and look super fancy! Try them for brunch at your house or for a special Sunday morning treat!
Easy Puff Pastry Cups
So I was walking through the frozen foods aisle planning on purchasing the regular puff pastry sheets to make these cups myself and I came across some already made!!
Pepperidge Farms comes through again!! These adorable puff pastry cups were next to their puff pastry dough in the freezer aisle! Such a time saver and so easy! They come in a package of 24 so they are the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer.
These cups are my new favorite item to purchase in the freezer aisle…after cookie dough ice cream of course.
So I knew I wanted to make a new breakfast idea because truth be told, I get sick of cooking the same things over so I wanted to change it up. Plus, my husband loves breakfast.
So I was going to make these cups myself using the regular puff pastry sheets but then I came across these!
What a time saver! I’m talking at least 15 minutes of saved time which in my kitchen is priceless.
All you do is pop them in the oven, push down the middle and voila, a warm hole waiting for whatever ‘yumminess’ your heart desires!
In this case..it’s creamy scrambled eggs!
That Honey Dijon Sauce
My inspiration for this recipe came from a dish I tried down south about ten years ago.
I was in a cute little restaurant for breakfast and came across something on the menu called a “Croque-Madame”.
It was love at first bite.
If you have never tried it before, you absolutely have to! I rarely see it on menus around my hometown here in NJ but when I do, I always, always order it!
It is basically a baked ham and cheese sandwich with an egg on top!
But that’s not it. The part that got me was the sauce…
The luscious honey Dijon sauce drenched over top of these babies.
That is what won my heart over. It is just so decadent and goes perfectly with the ham.
To make the sauce, all you need to make a roux with some milk and flour. Then add in some mustard and honey and some Gruyere cheese if you’re feeling extra happy that morning.
The eggs are simple but creamy with some ham, Gruyere and chives tossed in.
And that’s it!
Try serving these for brunch alongside my Mini Maple Corn Muffins!
Take a look below at how I made these and at the kitchen tools I used to make these come out so yummy!
Place the puff pastry cups onto a sheet pan and bake according to instructions.
When done, pop the middle down creating a hole.
Brown the ham in a skillet before adding the eggs.
Add eggs, chives and Gruyere and turn heat to low. Scrape the bottom of your skillet with a wooden spoon until cooked through but still fluffy.
In a small saucepan, add flour and butter and whisk until bubbly.
Add milk and salt and whisk for another few minutes until sauce thickens. Then add Dijon
Add eggs to the center of each cup.
Pour sauce over top each cup and serve warm!
