Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the puff pastry sheet into a 12x16-inch rectangle with a rolling pin, about 1/8 inch thick. Move the dough to the prepared baking sheet and fold the edges over to create a 1/2-inch wide crust.
- 3
Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the puff pastry to help the sesame seeds and scallions stick. Prick the center of the puff pastry all over with a fork. Score along the inner edge of the crust with a paring knife.
- 4
Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the crust, then sprinkle salt and five-spice powder evenly over the center of the puff pastry. Sprinkle from higher up to distribute evenly. Add a little over half of the scallions.
- 5
Pre-bake the puff pastry in the preheated oven until puffed and lightly browned, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a spoon to make 6 evenly spaced indentations in the pastry. Crack an egg into each indentation.
- 6
Bake the puff pastry and eggs for 6 to 10 minutes more, depending on how runny or firm you want the yolks. Remember they will continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the oven.
- 7
Mix soy sauce and chili oil, then drizzle evenly over the eggs. Top with the remaining scallions, cut into 6 pieces, and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
