Ingredients

6 large eggs (room temperature)

1 egg (beaten for egg wash)

1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

1 sheet puff pastry dough (thawed)

All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Kosher salt

2 oz Boursin cheese (or your favorite goat cheese)

3 tbsp green onion (finely chopped)

4 slices prosciutto

1 ½ tbsp Everything But The Bagel Seasoning

2 cups arugula

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

¼ cup Parmigiano cheese (freshly shaved)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bring the eggs and puff pastry dough to room temperature (at least 30 minutes) for even baking.

Step 2: Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Unfold the puff pastry and roll it out into a large rectangle. Trim the edges for an even shape if desired.

Step 3: Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, score a half-inch border around the edges, cutting halfway down but not all the way through. Prick the inside of the pastry with a fork to prevent puffing.

Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and one tablespoon of water to make the egg wash. Brush the entire pastry surface with the egg wash, then sprinkle the edges with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Remove the pastry from the oven. Spread Boursin cheese evenly over the base of the tart, up to the edges. Carefully crack the six eggs onto the tart, spacing them evenly. Lightly season the eggs with kosher salt.

Step 6: Return the tart to the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the egg whites are set and yolks start to thicken but remain slightly runny.

Step 7: Take the tart out of the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and torn prosciutto slices.

Step 8: In a bowl, toss the arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Top the warm tart with the dressed arugula and finish with freshly shaved Parmigiano cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use goat cheese as a substitute for Boursin for a different creamy texture and tang.

For a vegetarian version, skip the prosciutto and add sautéed mushrooms or roasted peppers.

Make sure eggs and dough are at room temperature to ensure even cooking and proper puff pastry rise.

Try adding fresh herbs like thyme or chives to the cheese spread for extra flavor.

FAQs

Can I prepare this tart ahead of time?

You can assemble the tart up to the point of baking and refrigerate it overnight. Bake it fresh when ready to serve for best texture and flavor.

What can I use if I don’t have Everything But The Bagel Seasoning?

Make a simple mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and coarse salt as a substitute to achieve a similar flavor.
