Author's Notes

You can also add a little grated cheese to the spinach and bacon mix for extra flavor.

If you prefer the eggs to be firmer, bake the Wellingtons for a little longer to allow the eggs to cook more through.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled egg with a runny center. Alternatively, you can poach the eggs for a similar result. Or use pre-boiled Eggland's Best Classic Eggs (4). Once cooked, cool the eggs immediately in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs and set them aside.
step 2
Lay 2-3 Spinach Leaves (12) flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping each other. Season the spinach leaves with a pinch of Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 3
Then, carefully place each peeled boiled egg in the center and wrap the spinach around the egg, ensuring it's completely enclosed.
step 4
Take one strip of cooked Bacon (8 slices) and wrap it horizontally around the spinach-wrapped egg, securing the spinach in place.
step 5
Take a second strip of bacon and wrap it vertically around the egg, crossing over the first strip to further secure everything. This creates a nice bacon-wrapped shell.
step 6
Roll out the Puff Pastry (1 sheet) on a floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares, large enough to fully wrap the eggs. Brush a thin layer of Dijon Mustard (1 Tbsp) on the center of the pastry.
step 7
Place the bacon-wrapped egg in the center of each puff pastry square. Carefully fold the corners of the puff pastry over the egg to create a little package, pinching the edges to seal the pastry.
step 8
Beat the remaining Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1) and brush it over the top of each pastry to create a golden finish when baked.
step 9
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Place the Wellingtons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
step 10
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
step 11
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the Wellingtons to cool for a minute. Slice in half to reveal the egg and garnish with Fresh Parsley (to taste) if desired. Serve immediately.
