1/2 cup onion, diced
1 cup smoked ham, diced
11 eggs
2 T minced chives
4 oz creamed cheese, softened
2 T orange juice
1 egg
1 T water
2 T parmesan cheese shredded
Melt butter in skillet, saute potatoes 5 min. Add peppers and onions-3 min--add ham. Whisk eggs and chives - add to pan and scramble until just set. Off heat stir inn cream cheese and juice--ref while working with pastry-- roll puff pastry into 12X10 sheet- cut as to lattice--the book is really helpful here-sorry-do the best you can. Fill w/ half the egg mixture--repeat with the other sheet and rest of the eggs--brush tops with an egg/water mix, sprinkle with cheese and bake at 400 20-30 min until golden. Cool 5 min before slicing. Makes 2 strudels--45 min.
