Bacon and Egg Breakfast Pastry Tarts
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
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, combine 1 and a quarter cups of pie crust mix with 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of cold water in a large bowl, stirring until the mixture forms a cohesive ball. Set aside any remaining pie crust mix for future use.
3
Then, divide the pastry ball into four equal portions and shape each portion into a 6-inch circle on a surface dusted with flour.
4
After that, carefully place each circle over an inverted muffin cup or custard cup, making sure the pastry fits snugly against the cup. Create pleats to secure the pastry in place and use a fork to prick the surface.
5
Following that, position the tart shells on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven until they are lightly browned, taking approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
6
Before removing the tart shells from their cups, allow them to cool for five minutes. Next, reduce your oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
7
Then, place two slices of bacon at the bottom of each tart shell, followed by a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese. Create a small indentation in the cheese and crack an egg into it, adding one tablespoon of milk to each well. Sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper.
8
Finally, place the filled tarts on the same ungreased cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are soft-cooked, taking around 15 to 20 minutes.
