DIRECTIONS:
1.) PREHEAT oven to 425°F. COMBINE goat cheese, 1 tbsp. parsley, chives, dill, garlic and lemon zest until smooth and spreadable.
2.) PLACE pastry on lightly floured surface. ROLL into 9-inch square. CUT into 4 even portions. SCORE 1/2-inch border on all sides of pastry squares with sharp knife. PRICK pastry all over inside score lines with fork. PLACE on large parchment paper–lined baking sheet. TRANSFER to freezer for 5 minutes.

RETURN to oven; bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until whites are set and eggs are cooked to desired doneness. SEASON with salt and pepper. GARNISH with remaining parsley.
