How To Make Puff Pastry Egg Tarts

1. To make this recipe start with preheating your oven to 400℉/200℃. Now put 3 squares of puff pastry on a baking tray on top of baking paper.
2. If you have a sheet of puff pastry you can cut them into equal squares. Then put a small ovenproof cup or bowl right in the middle of your puff pastry squares.
3. Place the baking tray in the middle of your oven for 6 minutes. The puff pastry will swell up around the bowl.
4. Take the baking tray out of the oven and remove the bowls. The bowls will leave an indent in the puff pastry.
   
5. Take some sun-dried tomatoes and streaky bacon and place them in the indent.
6. Now crack an egg in the indent, right on top of the streaky bacon and tomatoes. Repeat for the other pastry tarts.
7. Return the baking tray to the oven for 14 minutes so the eggs will cook and the puff pastry will get golden brown.
8. Take out of the oven and decorate with some scallions and fresh-cut chives.
9. Serve straight away.

Breakfast Egg Tart Recipe

If you want to make the perfect indent in puff pastry the trick is to use something with weight and back the puff pastry for a couple of minutes in the oven.

We can buy perfect squares of puff pastry in the store which makes this recipe even easier but it also works with a long sheet of puff pastry.

As long as you use an oven-proof cup or bowl and set it in the middle of your puff pastry the edges with be able to rise around the cup and create an indent.

This is all you need to prevent the egg from running out of your puff pastry. Sometimes it helps if you use a fork and pinch the pastry but with a bowl, you can’t go wrong.

You can switch it up and add or subtract ingredients in the recipe:

• Asparagus – add some green asparagus when they are in season. No need to cook them beforehand just put them on the puff pastry before you crack the eggs.
• Salmon – do not like bacon replace it with strips of smoked salmon and cook as described.
• Cheese – put some shredded cheddar cheese or hard mozzarella on the puff pastry before you crack the egg. You can also sprinkle some cheese on top of the egg.
• Cherry tomatoes – instead of sun-dried tomatoes you can also use some fresh cherry tomatoes
