Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 10 large eggs
- 2/3 cup half & half
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet Hidden Valley® Ranch Dip Mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay a piece of Glad® Press ‘n Seal (or other plastic wrap) flat on the counter. Roll a piece of puff pastry out over it, into a 12 X 12 inch square.
- Pick up the puff pastry by the edges of the plastic. Flip and fit the pastry into an 8 X 8 inch baking dish, making sure the pastry comes up the sides. Peel off the plastic. Crimp the edges of the pastry if desired.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the half & half, and beat well. Mix in the Hidden Valley® Ranch Dip Mix and shredded cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the center doesn't jiggle when shaken. Cool for 5 minutes. Then cut and serve!

Notes
Prep Ahead - To make the night before, prep the pastry crust and the egg mixture. Keep them separate and cover well with cling wrap. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, unwrap the crust and egg mixture. Stir again and bake for 30 minutes.
- Storing Leftovers - Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing - You technically can freeze squares of baked eggs for 3 months by wrapping each piece individually in plastic wrap, then storing all together in a freezer-safe bag. But note that the texture of the egg will become slightly grainy and less fluffy when thawed in the fridge overnight and reheated.
- Reheating - Reheat baked omelette by gently microwaving in 10-20 seconds bursts at 50% power.
