Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat olive oil in a skillet; saute leeks and mushrooms for about 10-15 minutes or until soft but not mushy. Toss with the fresh herbs.
Roll out the cold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12x 12 square; cut into 4 squares. Using the tip of a small paring knife, score around each square, being careful not to cut all the way through, just 1/4 inch from the edge, to form a frame. The outer edge will puff up during the baking like a crust.
To keep the inside of the dough from puffing up, use a fork to prick the dough all over, INSIDE the frame. Brush each piece of dough lightly with heavy cream or a beaten egg. You can refrigerate the dough and finish later, if you want or continue.
Spread or crumble goat cheese on each square of dough; top with the mushroom leek mixture, being careful to keep the mixture inside the 'frame'; make a small 'nest' in each center where the egg will eventually be put.
Crack each of the four eggs into their own individual cups; set aside, which will make it easier to slide the eggs onto the pastries later.
Bake the pastries for 10 minutes, until starting to puff up and get a little golden.
Remove from the oven, making sure that there is a well in the center of each to hold the eggs. Gently slide 1 egg into the center of each pastry.
Bake for another 10-12 minutes until the eggs are just set.
Serve immediately, seasoned with pepper and fresh herbs.
4 servings.
