Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Puff Pastry Sheet, find in the freezer section and thaw according to directions
  • 1 package garlic and herbs Boursin cheese or similar, 5oz
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 6-8 stalks of asparagus, trimmed
  • 6-8 sprigs of spring onions or scallions, ends trimmed
  • Black Caraway Seeds
  • Maldon Flake Salt
  • 6-8 eggs, adjust to your preference, divided (one for your egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Black Pepper
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Fresh arugula
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Begin by thawing your puff pastry dough according to package instructions. I use Pepperidge Farms and it says to allow to thaw for 40 minutes. 
    • 1 Puff Pastry Sheet, find in the freezer section and thaw according to directions
  2. Once thawed, lightly flour your work surface and roll your pastry slightly larger - looking for about 10x14 rectangle. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan.
  3. Using a sharp knife, score a shallow line - be sure not to cut through the dough - around the entire pastry about 1" in from the edge.
  4. In a small bowl, mix your Boursin or soft cheese with a squeeze of lemon. Keep mixing until a smooth, spreadable consistency. Add more lemon as needed to make workable.
    • 1 package garlic and herbs Boursin cheese or similar, 5oz
    • Juice of 1 lemon
  5. Spread thinned cheese mixture onto the center of your puff pastry dough. 
  6. Next, place your trimmed asparagus + spring onions in any style you'd like on your cheese spread. 
    • 6-8 stalks of asparagus, trimmed
    • 6-8 sprigs of spring onions or scallions, ends trimmed
  7. In a small bowl, crack 1 egg and whisk with a splash of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash on the border of your pastry dough.
    • 1 egg + splash of water
  8. Sprinkle along the edges some black caraway seeds and Maldon flake salt.
    • Black Caraway Seeds
    • Maldon Flake Salt
  9. Bake into preheated oven for 8 minutes.
  10. Crack your remaining eggs onto your pastry dough. Place back in oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until eggs are set and puff pastry is browned and flaky.
    • 5-6 eggs
  11. Remove from oven and top with fresh ground black pepper, crumbled feta, fresh mint leaves, fresh arugula and a drizzle of olive oil.
    • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  12. Break yolks on pizza and enjoy!
