Ingredients

  • 3 egg
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs(basil and chives)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 dash ground red pepper
  • 1 cup finely shredded Swiss cheese(about 4 ounces)
  • 1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets(1 sheet), thawed

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.  Beat the eggs, heavy cream, herbs, shallots, black pepper and red pepper in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk.  Stir in the cheese.

  3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon egg mixture into each muffin-pan cup.

  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until the filling is set and the pastries are golden brown.  Let the pastries cool in the pans on wire racks for 5 minutes.

  5. Easy Substitution: You may substitute fresh rosemary and thyme for the basil and chives in this recipe.
