Eggs Napoleon is an elegant layered brunch main dish featuring flaky puff pastry, creamy sauce, melted Swiss and cheddar cheese, and tender baked eggs. Impressive enough for holidays and breakfast for parties, yet simple enough for a relaxed weekend brunch at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (about 115 g)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 115 g)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
  • Sautéed spinach
  • Lightly sautéed mushrooms
  • Thinly sliced turkey (ham alternative, if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place puff pastry sheets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes until golden and fully puffed. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream. Cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  3. Lower oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Bake eggs in a greased dish until whites are set but yolks remain slightly soft, or softly scramble if preferred.
  4. Place one puff pastry sheet as the base. Spread cream sauce over it and sprinkle with Swiss and cheddar cheese. Add a layer of baked eggs evenly. Repeat layers if desired, finishing with cheese on top.
  5. Return to the oven for 5–8 minutes until cheese melts and becomes lightly golden. Let rest briefly before slicing.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and slice using a sharp knife for clean presentation.
