This recipe is, by far, the simplest thing I have ever made. It is inexpensive and takes no time to put together. You can even keep the ingredients on hand for any spontaneous overnight guests.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 pie sheets of puff pastry
• 1 package of frozen spinach, thawed (or substitute 400g of sliced ham)
• 8 eggs
• 3 tbsp green onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 tbsp of milk

METHOD

1. Pre-heat oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit;
2. Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry and line pie dish. Arrange half of the spinach (or ham) on the bottom;
3. Break 7 of the eggs and place them evenly around dish. Prick yolks with a fork, avoiding to stir yolk into the white of the eggs;
4. Sprinkle the green onion and parmesan cheese on top. Add salt and pepper. Add remaining spinach (or ham) and cover with second sheet of pastry;
5. Beat last egg with milk and brush on top of pastry. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

I have never made this dish without receiving compliments. Simply delicious!
