offset spatula
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200C / 400F / 180C fan forced.
Place the pastry on a large baking tray.
Score a line 1 inch from the edge all around the pastry. Use a fork to prick all over inside of this line.
Beat just one egg, then brush all over the 1 inch border (you'll only use a little of it). Scatter seeds all around the border. Chill for 10 minutes.
To a medium bowl add the rest of this egg wash with the Gruyère, ricotta, chives, salt and pepper and mix well.
Spread the filling mixture onto the pastry, inside the border (an offset spatula makes this really easy).
Remove the casings from the sausage and drop small chunks of sausage meat randomly over the filling.
Roughly chop the bacon into 3 or 4 smaller chunks and scatter those around making sure to leave space for the 6 whole eggs.
Bake 12 minutes.
Crack the eggs into the gaps and, turn the tray and bake a further 9-13 minutes until done to your liking. I find 9 ½ to 10 minutes will give you perfect gooey egg yolks.
Scatter over the rocket and sprouts or herbs, slice into 6 pieces and serve immediately

Notes
I use a roll of Careme puff pastry, which is the perfect size. If you can't find one large sheet of puff pastry, simply press two sheets (or 1 ½ will be enough) with a tight seal into a large rectangle.
Make sure your bacon is cooked before you start. It doesn't need to be crispy, just cooked.
You can use dukkah in place of the seeds for a little extra spice.
Feel free to add other toppings that you like for breakfast, like sliced mushrooms or asparagus.
