Smoked Salmon and Egg Breakfast Mille-feuille
My breakfast interpretation of the classic French dessert, Mille-feuille! Super fast to prepare, this is a great breakfast to impress friends and family. Makes 8 - I find 2 per serving is sufficient.

Ingredients
- 1 sheet store bought frozen puff pastry , thawed (25 cm x 25cm / 10" x 10")
Scrambled Eggs
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup cream or full cream milk (double this for creamier eggs - Note 1)
- 1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt
- black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
Mille-feuille
- 6 oz / 200g smoked salmon
- 2/3 cup Creme Fraiche (Note 2), plus more for serving (optional)
- 2 tbsp chives , finely chopped, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Cut the puff pastry in half, then each half into 4 pieces to make 8 pieces that are 6 cm x 12.5 cm / 2.5" x 5".
- Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper (baking paper) or sprayed with oil.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Then brush the puff pastry with the eggs, taking care not to brush the cut sides (optional step - makes the pastry more golden).
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.
- Remove from the oven and split each piece in half horizontally (so you have a top and bottom).
- Place on a rack to cool.

Scrambled Eggs
- Whisk the cream into the eggs.
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat if you have gas or medium high for electric. Don't let the butter brown. Add the eggs and don't touch it for 20 seconds.
- Then use a wooden spoon with a flat edge (or egg flip) to gently scrape the bottom and fold the eggs over. Continue to do this for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the eggs are mostly cooked but still wet.
- Turn the stove off, add salt and pepper and keep folding until the eggs are just before done to your liking (they will continue to cook for a bit). Remove from the stove.

Assemble
- Mix the crème fraîche and chives together in a small bowl.
- Place the bottom half of each puff pastry piece on a serving platter. Divide the eggs between them, top with smoked salmon then spread with crème fraîche mixture. Place the top half of the puff pastry on the salmon.
- Serve immediately with extra crème fraîche on the side, if desired.
Notes
- If you like your eggs really creamy and wet, then double the cream / milk. This will make scrambled eggs that are almost like a thick porridge.
- Crème fraîche is like a richer, less tangy version of sour cream. You can substitute with sour cream, or a really thick, full fat yoghurt.
- I find that this recipe really needs that extra bit of moisture from the crème fraîche. You can serve it on the side if you prefer, rather than inside the Mille-feuille.
