I think brunch might be my favorite meal of the day, definitely my favorite weekend meal.
These baked eggs are so yummy all wrapped up in flaky puff pastry. I like how quick and cute these look if you’re having friends over. The recipe is so easy to customize, swap out any ingredients with your favorites, the sky is the limit, get as creative as you’d like.
