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.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove grease and set aside.
- In a bowl, make the egg wash with one egg and the water. Use a fork or whisk to combine the two.
- Cover a full-size cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the puff pastry and slice it into 8 similar-sized rectangular pieces with a pizza cutter. Spread them apart onto the cookie sheet. Run a paring knife around the inside of the puff pastry to create a border, then fork prick the inner space. Brush the tops of the tarts with egg wash and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the dough is baking, whisk together the remaining 3 eggs, milk, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the puff pastry from the oven and press the centers down with the back of a fork, while keeping the edges puffed.
- Pour the egg mixture into each tart being careful not to overfill. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the egg mixture. Bake for another 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with bacon pieces and the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
- Top with green onions and serve with dijonnaise sauce if desired.
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients.
To keep the pastry flaky, avoid overfilling each tart with the egg mixture.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
