Ingredients

Scale

Each ingredient in this recipe serves a purpose, creating layers of flavor and texture that make Baked Eggs Napoleon truly unforgettable. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Feel free to make substitutions based on what you have on hand. For instance, swap out the Parmesan for mozzarella if you prefer a milder cheese, or add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist.

Instructions

Cooking is an art form that requires a bit of patience and a lot of love. Let’s walk through the steps to create this dish:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases. Cut the pastry into four equal squares.
  3. Place each square on the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to score a smaller square within each piece of pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will help create a raised border around the edges as it bakes.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the marinara sauce with olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon a small amount of sauce onto each pastry square, staying within the scored border.
  6. Carefully crack an egg into the center of each pastry square, taking care to keep the yolk intact.
  7. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over each egg.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

A tip from my grandmother: always keep an eye on the eggs in the final minutes to ensure they’re cooked just to your preference. For a firmer yolk, leave them in for an extra minute.
