• On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll out puff pastry to an 11-by-14-inch rectangle.

With a fork, prick pastry all over inside border. Refrigerate 20 minutes.

Carefully crack eggs on top of mushroom mixture, spacing them evenly, and bake until pastry is golden and egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 10 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with tarragon and Parmesan and cut into 6 squares.
