Break the 8 eggs and place evenly spaced around the pan. Prick each yolk with a fork but do not stir yolks and whites together. Sprinkle green onions, salt and pepper over eggs and top with remaining ham. Break the cheese slices into smaller pieces and place on the ham. Now spread the sausage evenly over the cheese. Roll the second sheet of puff pastry to fit over pan. Cover pie with the second sheet of puff pastry, pinching the two sheets of puff pastry together and then trim off excess pastry.
