We all know the classic breakfast of bacon and eggs, but, bacon is so much more than just a morning staple. From appetizers to salads and even desserts, bacon is a flavor bomb waiting to happen in all sorts of dishes! Its smoky, savory magic can transform so many meals from ordinary to extraordinary.
Since mornings are hectic, I often don’t have time for a full breakfast. So I look for ways to enjoy the deliciousness of Hatfield Bacon throughout the day.
My family loves to have breakfast for dinner. So to avoid the need to act as a short order cook, I whip up tasty meals like my Bacon, Egg & Cheese Tart instead. It’s the ultimate breakfast combination that you can enjoy any time of the day…. breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner!
You get all the amazing textures and flavors that you love all wrapped up into one perfect dish. And while the presentation is super impressive, it’s actually crazy easy to make. So you can serve this up and just let everyone believe that you worked really hard on that tasty meal—no one has to know the truth!
To get started, you just pop some Hatfield Bacon in the oven and let it partially cook.
Once that’s done you just roll out some premade puff pastry, dock it and spread on a mixture of cream cheese, chives and shredded gruyere or cheddar cheese and that delicious bacon. Brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds or Italian seasoning then pop it in the oven and let it bake for about 12 minutes.
The last step is to crack some eggs on top of the tart and place it back in the oven for another 10 – 12 minutes. Slice it up and serve for a delicious meal that your whole family will love.
With the sale on Hatfield Bacon happening now at Publix, this is the perfect time to add my recipe to your menu. Grab some of that tasty bacon, a frozen puff pastry, cheese and some eggs and you are in business!
Hatfield Bacon, 16 oz, $5.99
Bacon, Egg & Cheese Tart
Ingredients
- 6 - 8 slices Hatfield Bacon - partially cooked, see instructions
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry - thawed
- 4 oz cream cheese - softened
- 2 tbsp whole milk - additional as needed
- 4 oz gruyere or cheddar cheese - shredded
- 2 tbsp chives - chopped
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Bake or fry the bacon until just cooked. No need to cook crisp as the bacon will continue to cook in the oven. When cool enough to touch, tear the bacon into bite-size pieces.
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Place the cream cheese in a medium bowl with the milk and chives and mix to combine. The mixture will be thick, but should be spreadable. Add more milk if needed.
- Unfold the pastry and place on a baking sheet. Use a knife to score a 1-inch border around the entire pastry. Use a fork to prick (or dock) the area inside, leaving the 1-inch border untouched.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the docked portion of the puff pastry then sprinkle the shredded cheese and pre-cooked bacon over top, leaving the border untouched.
- Mix one egg with about a teaspoon of water and brush the egg wash over the pastry border. Sprinkle the border with the everything bagel seasoning. Bake the pastry for 12 minutes.
- Remove the tart from the oven and crack the remaining 4 eggs over top of the pastry. Return the pastry to the oven and cook for 10 - 12 minutes, or until eggs are done to your liking.
- Season with salt and pepper if desired, cut and serve with additional chives and/or arugula.
