Description
These Spring Brunch Puff Pastry Egg Tarts offer an irresistible blend of flavors with crispy bacon, creamy eggs, and melted cheddar cheese, making them an easy and delightful choice for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of original bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 13 ounces puff pastry dough, thawed completely (not frozen)
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated from the block
- 1/4 cup green onion for serving, sliced thinly on a bias
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a skillet over medium low heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare the egg wash by combining 1 egg with water in a bowl and mixing until blended.
- Line a full-size cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll and slice the puff pastry into 8 equal rectangles using a pizza cutter, and place them on the cookie sheet.
- Using a paring knife, carefully score a border around the inner edge of each pastry and prick the center with a fork to prevent excessive puffing. Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the pastry is baking, whisk together the remaining 3 eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the puff pastry from the oven and gently press down the centers using a fork, keeping the edges raised.
- Pour the egg mixture into each tart, being careful not to overfill, then sprinkle about half of the cheddar cheese on top and return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
- Once baked, add the bacon pieces and the remaining cheese to the tops and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- After baking, garnish with green onions and serve with dijonnaise sauce if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed for even baking.
Adjust the toppings and cheeses according to personal preference for additional flavors.
Serve fresh for the best texture and taste.
