Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Eggs Napoleon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and thaw the puff pastry until pliable. Grease ramekins with butter.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry until 1/8 inch thick, cut circles to fit the ramekins, and press them into place.
  3. Line the pastry shells with parchment and fill with pie weights. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  4. Sauté minced shallots and garlic in a skillet until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in cream cheese and heavy cream, seasoning well.
  5. Remove pastry from the oven and fill each shell with the spinach mixture. Crack an egg into the center of each.
  6. Brush pastry edges with egg wash, then bake for an additional 12-18 minutes until set.
  7. Garnish with chives or fresh herbs and serve immediately.
