These little gourmet treats make the perfect signature item at your brunch soiree!

We don’t have a Panera Bread in the town where I live. I tried their Ham and Swiss Souffle just a couple of years ago. Before that, I would always get something sweet for breakfast when we visited one. I have been obsessed with this omelet-type breakfast since the very first bite.

PANERA BREAD HAM AND SWISS SOUFFLE RECIPE

I have wanted to duplicate the recipe for a year now. But I kept thinking it would be complex and time-consuming, so I never got down to the nitty-gritty of planning it.

Oh my… I am so glad I finally did. Let me make one thing clear: This is not a complex or difficult recipe to make. In fact, it comes together really quickly, just as easily as biscuits, pancakes, waffles, griddle scones, or any other breakfast!

I started with puff pastry, because who wants to make puff pastry from scratch? In a pinch, you could use crescent rolls, but they won’t be as flaky.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs at room temperature
½ cup Swiss shredded, you can also use Monterey, Colby, Havarti, or Manchego cheese
¼ cup Romano cheese shredded
½ teaspoon garlic powder
6 slices deli ham
2 – 3 dashes hot sauce optional
1 sheet puff pastry thawed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place six 5-inch ramekins or six 5-inch tart pans on a sheet pan.
Place a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds.
Next, whisk in the milk and cook until it has thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cooled milk sauce, cheese, garlic, and hot sauce until well combined.
Unwrap the puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares. Press each square into your ramekin or tart pan. Press it down in the bottom and up the sides really good and divide ham between the ramekins.
Divide the egg mixture between the ramekins.
Bake until they are puffed up and golden brown. It should take 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
