| Yield: | 4 individual tarts |
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17-to-18-ounce package), thawed
- 2 strips bacon
- 1 1/2 cups shredded havarti cheese
- 3 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chopped fresh chives, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch square, then cut into 4 equal squares. Slightly fold and pinch the edges of each square to form 4 round tart shells. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and prick all over with a fork. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
- Let the tart shells cool slightly on the baking sheets. If the centers are very puffy, prick with a fork to deflate. Sprinkle evenly with the havarti and parmesan. Make a shallow well in the cheese in the center of each tart and crack an egg into each; season with salt and pepper. Top with the bacon, then return to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with chives.

This dish was so fun to make! You definitely want to make sure you get your tarts as wide as you can, so that you can build a proper little well for your egg (if it’s not deep / wide enough it can run over a bit). Even if runs over, it’s still yummy, tasty and beautiful! VERY filling! I could only eat 1 and my very big and tall husband could only eat 2!
Great! I would add that to make it picture perfect make sure the well is wide & deep. My first one the white ran over the side-still tasted great. My husband thought it was prettier than the “perfect” ones.
Delicious! Even kiddos love and have asked to make for dinner.
Super fun recipe! Perfect for holidays and lazy days
I used English muffin instead of puff pastry because that’s what I had at the time.It was a little tricky trying to balance the egg on top but it was very very delicious.
Great recipe, I served it for brunch to my girlfriend. Nice change from an egg bake and looked great too. Prep the puff pastry and bacon the night before and store in a zip lock. Put it together in just minutes. Everyone was so impressed… very elegant.
Its OK! Have no idea what the hype is all about!!! Too much prep work for breakfast, my teen didn’t like it at all, to me it was just average.
I made this for my husband and i. I GREAT breakfast recipe but needs to be served to company!! It’s pretty much last minute though. Easy to prepare except the fussiness of the puff pasty.
Made exactly as directed, but with a little extra bacon… DELICIOUS! And MUCH easier than it looks!
My husband loved these!!!! So easy but look like a 5 star fancy dish!! We didn’t have havarti cheese so I used fontina. Will make again and already planning to do so!
