Step 1

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a sheet tray with parchment.

Step 2

Score (do not cut all the way through) a 1/2 inch border around the square of puff pastry. Prick the inside all over with a fork.

Step 3

Egg wash the pastry all over, and sprinkle the border with poppy seeds.

Step 4

Bake until golden and puffed, about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from oven and press down the center of the pastry so that there is a nice indent for the filling.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bottom of the tart. Top with grated cheese, and make a well for the egg to fit in. It's ok if the cheese gets on the border of the tart! Crack the egg into the well. Top with a few small slices of ham.

Step 7

Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the egg is cooked to your liking.

Step 8

Season the egg with salt and pepper and garnish with chives. Enjoy!
