Puff Pastry Breakfast Tarts
8 servings
60 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 (17.3 oz) package frozen puff pastry
  • Parchment paper
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 oz diced fresh yellow onions
  • 6 oz fresh spinach
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • 0.25 oz fresh chives (optional for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Steps

    1. Set puff pastry out to thaw, preheat oven to 425°F, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
    2. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place bacon in pan (wash hands); cook 4–5 minutes on each side until desired crispness. Remove bacon from pan and drain fat, then return pan to heat.
    3. Place butter and onions in pan; cook and stir 4 minutes or until golden, then add spinach and cook 4–5 more minutes until wilted and most of the moisture has cooked away. Remove from heat and let stand to cool to room temperature; chop bacon.
    4. Place 1 sheet of pastry on lightly floured work surface; sprinkle with flour and roll slightly thinner, preserving shape of dough. Cut into 4 even pieces with a sharp knife. Transfer to 1 prepared baking sheet, then use knife to score ½-inch border around edges, making sure not to cut completely through pastry. Repeat with remaining sheet of pastry and prepared baking sheet.
    5. Pierce middle sections of pastry sheets with a fork. Bake 10–11 minutes until lightly golden and slightly puffy. Remove from oven and press gently to deflate any puffed areas, then spread spinach mixture evenly over pieces, keeping borders clear.
    6. Sprinkle with cheese and use a spoon to make hollows in filling of all 8 rectangles, then crack 1 egg into each hollow. Sprinkle with bacon and bake 8–10 more minutes until pastry is fully cooked and eggs are 160°F. Chop chives, if using. Sprinkle tarts with salt, pepper, and chives; serve.
