Description

These Spring Brunch Puff Pastry Egg Tarts feature a delightful blend of crispy bacon, creamy egg filling, and gooey cheese nestled in flaky pastry. A quick bake makes them perfect for gatherings or a cozy weekend meal, capturing the essence of spring with every bite!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices original bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 13 ounces puff pastry dough, thawed completely
  • 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, sliced thinly on a bias for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain grease and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine one egg with water to create an egg wash, whisking until blended.
  3. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 8 equal rectangular pieces. Position them on the cookie sheet, then use a paring knife to create a border around each piece and fork-prick the inside space. Brush the tops with the egg wash and bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Whisk together the remaining 3 eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. A measuring cup with a spout can help with pouring.
  5. Take the puff pastry out of the oven, using the back of a fork to press down the centers while leaving the edges puffy.
  6. Carefully pour the egg mixture into each tart, avoiding overfilling, and sprinkle with about half of the cheddar cheese. Bake again for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, add the cooked bacon and the remaining cheese to the tarts, and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with green onions and serve. Enjoy your delicious puff pastry egg tarts!
