Description
Enjoy these Spring Brunch Puff Pastry Egg Tarts filled with eggs, cheese, and crisp bacon, offering a deliciously flaky bite that’s perfect for brunch gatherings.
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 Fahrenheit. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-low heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the grease.
- In a bowl, prepare the egg wash by combining one egg and water, whisking until blended.
- Line a full-size cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 8 rectangular pieces. Place them on the cookie sheet, and use a paring knife to create a border around the inside of each pastry. Fork prick the inner area, then brush the tops with egg wash before baking for 10 minutes.
- While the pastry is baking, whisk together the remaining 3 eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- After 10 minutes, remove the puff pastry from the oven and press the centers down with a fork, ensuring the edges remain puffed.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into each tart, avoiding overfilling. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese on top before returning to the oven for another 10 minutes of baking.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and add the cooked bacon pieces and the remaining cheese, returning the pastries to the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Top the tarts with thinly sliced green onions and serve with dijonnaise sauce if desired.
