- 4 large eggs: main protein and richness
- 4 oz (115 g) prosciutto slices: salty, savory flavor
- 1/2 cup (120 g) ricotta cheese: creamy layer
- 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella or gruyere cheese: melt and texture
- 1 tbsp olive oil: adds richness and helps crisp pastry
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or chives (chopped): fresh aroma
- 1/4 tsp salt: enhances flavor
- 1/4 tsp black pepper: adds mild heat
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.

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.
