Ree’s breakfast croissants involve a filling made of eggs, cured meat and cheese, all wrapped in puff pastry. They are ideal for a grab-and-go meal on busy mornings.

Ingredients

Sheet Pan Eggs:

Croissants:

Directions

  1. For the sheet pan eggs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a quarter-sheet pan (9-by-13 inches) with parchment paper, allowing it to come up the sides.
  2. Pour the melted butter onto the parchment, and, using a pastry brush, cover the paper entirely with the butter.
  3. Mix the cream, eggs and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared sheet pan and bake until the eggs are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Using the parchment overhang, remove the cooked eggs from the sheet pan. Cut into four long strips, then cut each strip in half crosswise. Set aside.
  4. For the croissants: Meanwhile, lay out the puff pastry. Using a pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheet into four 2-inch strips. Spread a tablespoon of the pesto on each strip, leaving a small gap at the top of each. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the pesto. Add 2 slices soppressata to each, folding as needed to fit on the pastry. Add a strip of eggs to each. Brush the top edge with some of the egg yolk, then fold over the puff pastry in 2-inch segments, allowing the pastry to meet the egg wash. Press lightly to seal. Repeat until you have 8 rolls.
  5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg yolk and sprinkle over the Italian seasoning. Bake until golden and crisp, 20 to 22 minutes.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
