Ingredients
Mornay Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
Egg Pastry Crown:
- 12 frozen puff pastry shells (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
- 1 egg, slightly beaten, plus 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash
- 6 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Directions
Mornay Sauce Preparation:
Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and salt. Whisk until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in cheeses. Stir until mixture is smooth and begins to bubble, stirring, constantly, about 5 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
Egg Pastry Crowns Preparation:
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place 1 layer of pastry shells on the prepared cookie sheet and brush with egg wash. Top with another hollowed out shell. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden on top.
Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl to blend. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter to skillet. When the butter foams, add the egg mixture. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula until eggs are light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove tops and hollow out pastry shells. Divide scrambled eggs among pastries. Top each with 2 to 3 tablespoons of Mornay Sauce. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

I had to make some changes because we didn't have swiss cheese (substituted mozzarella cheese, and couldn't find the grater for the Parmesan (used store bought ground, but the sauce was great. The eggs came out fluffy and delicious. The puff pastry (using Pepperidge Farms like she recommended needed to be cooked longer than 12 minutes, per the package it says 20-25 minutes. That's the only problem. My 2 very picky young girls loved it and asked for more!

I have a hard time trying any of Sandra's recipes, b/c I don't like to use prepared foods and mixes. However, I don't really mind using pre-made puff pastry. That seems like enough of a hassle that I don't really want to make my own. SO..... we tried this and we liked it fairly well. The sauce is a bit on the salty side though.....with salt from the cheeses and the butter, plus additional salt. It was just a bit much for us. I will not add any additional next time and maybe will switch to unsalted butter as well.
