Ingredients:
– 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated (about 300 g)
– 2 eggs
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
1. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the grated potatoes, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
3. Create two wells in the potatoes and crack an egg into each well. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
4. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips:
– Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes before cooking to ensure they get crispy.
– Feel free to add in your favorite veggies such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
– Adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences by adding more or less salt, pepper, or spices.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry Base
-
- Roll out the puff pastry dough onto a floured surface, shaping it into a rectangle or oval, depending on your preference.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Create the Edges
- Using a knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry without cutting all the way through.
- Prick the inner area of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing too much during baking.
Step 4: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
-
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the inner section of the puff pastry, staying within the scored border.
Step 5: Add the Berries
-
- Arrange the raspberries and blueberries on top of the cream cheese filling, creating a visually appealing pattern.
- Press them gently into the filling to ensure they stay in place.
Step 6: Apply the Egg Wash
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it along the edges of the puff pastry to give it a golden, glossy finish.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
-
- Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusting with extra powdered sugar for garnish.
