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.

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 This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
