Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice thawed puff pastry into 6 equal sized pieces by cutting in half down the middle and then dividing each section into 3.
Place each square of puff pastry on the baking sheet, evenly spaced.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and while using a sharp knife, slice a square into the top of each puff pastry, leaving a ¼ inch border around the top.
Press down the cut squares, making a square hole in the puff pastry. Repeat for all 6 pieces.
Divide the shredded cheese between all 6 squares and place it in the square pockets.
Crack an egg into a bowl and then pour it into each pocket. Do not crack egg directly into puff pastry because removing egg shells will be a pain.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until soft set or continue cooking for a harder yolk.
Top with sliced green onions, salt and pepper as desired.
Serve warm.

Customize tarts with different toppings.
Cook eggs to preferred doneness.
Store egg tarts in an airtight container after cooling.
Tarts can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container.
Allow tart shells to come to room temperature if frozen before use.
