Ingredients

  • 12 eggs whisked
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 shallots thinly sliced
  • 1 ham steak cubed
  • 1 1/2 - 2 cups Monterrey jack cheese shredded
  • 2 puff pastry sheets I used Pepperidge Farms
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg whisked for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets by spraying with cooking oil and set aside.
  • Follow puff pastry thawing directions. Once thawed, place each one on separate baking sheets. Roll lightly with a rolling pin.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon in a medium skillet. Add green peppers and sauté for a minute or two to slightly soften. Remove peppers from pan and place in a bowl to set aside.
  • Add shallots to heated pan and sauté for a minute to lessen to potency. Place in the bowl with peppers. 
  • Cook ham cubes in the same pan for 2-3 minutes to warm. Remove and place in the bowl with shallots and peppers.
  • Scramble and cook until the eggs are no longer look wet. Once done, remove from heat and set in a large mixing bowl. Add in peppers, shallots, ham, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix together, then add cheese and slightly toss.
  • Add 1/2 of the egg mixture to one pastry sheet. Have it directly in the center, in a row. The cut diagonal cuts down the sides of your sheet of pastry and crisscross them over the egg filling. Repeat with left over egg and puff pastry sheet.
  • Take 1 egg, whisk it and then using a basting brush, brush the egg mixture on top of both of the strudels.
  • Place in the oven, one pastry at a time, and bake for 16-18 minutes. The crust should be golden brown. Serve immediately.
