These breakfast tarts are perfect for brunch but also convenient enough for serving on a weekday.
Ingredients
- 1 (11 ounce) package pie crust mix
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 teaspoons cold water
- 1 (6 ounce) package Canadian-style bacon
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
Stir together 1 1/3 cups pie crust mix and 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cold water in a large bowl until pastry forms a ball; save remaining pie crust mix for another use. Divide pastry ball into 4 equal pieces.
Step 3
Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle on a floured surface. Drape each circle over inverted large 3×1 1/2-inch muffin cups or 6-ounce custard cups; make pleats, so pastry fits snugly against the cup. Prick surface using a fork. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove tart shells from cups. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 5
Place 2 bacon slices into the bottom of each tart shell. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, making a small well in each. Break 1 egg into each well and add 1 tablespoon milk into each tart. Sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper. Place filled tarts on the same ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are soft-cooked, 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips
You can use individual pie or tart pans for baking the tart shells; cut dough circles 1 inch larger than the inverted pans, then fit them into the pans.
