Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry onto the baking sheet and lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly داخل the border.
Layer prosciutto slices over the ricotta evenly.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the prosciutto.
Crack eggs carefully onto the tart, spacing them evenly.
Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, then drizzle olive oil over the top.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until egg whites are set and pastry is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Baked Prosciutto and Egg Breakfast Tart.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold before baking for best flakiness.
Crack eggs into a bowl first to avoid breaking yolks.
Bake longer if you prefer fully cooked yolks.
Avoid overloading toppings to prevent soggy crust.
Let tart rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
