Here's what you need:

1 box puff pastry sheets
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup hash browns, frozen
1 cup red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 cup smoked ham, diced 12 large eggs, divided use
2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shredded

Here's how to make it:

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add potatoes and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and onion. Sauté 3 minutes more, then add ham.

Whisk 11 eggs and chives together. Add them to the pan and scramble just until set. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Off heat stir in cream cheese and juice until blended. Refrigerate eggs while working with the pastry.

Unfold pasty sheet on a work surface that's been lightly dusted with flour. Roll pastry lengthwise to 12 x 10, then transfer to a piece of parchment on a baking sheet. Trim pastry; fill with half the egg mixture and braid. (See separate instruction for braiding)

Combine the remaining 1 egg with water and brush over top of strudels. Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing

To braid, after spooning egg mixture down the center of the pastry, make a series of diagonal cuts on both sides. Alternately fold strips over each other to form a braid.
