Bacon and Egg Breakfast Tarts
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
1 (11 ounce) package pie crust mix
1 (6 ounce) package Canadian-style bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Prepare pastry for a one crust pie as directed on package.
Divide pastry into 4 equal parts.
Roll each part into a 6 inch circle on a well floured, cloth covered board with a floured, cloth covered rolling pin.
Fit pastry over backs of large muffin cups (3 x 1 1/2 inch), or 6 ounce custard cups; make pleats so pastry will fit closely.
If using individual pie pans or tart pans, cut circles 1 inch larger than inverted pans, and fit into pans. Prick surface.
Place tarts on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake until light brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes, and carefully remove from cups.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Place 2 bacon slices in the bottom of each pastry cup.
Sprinkle cheese over the meat, making slight well in centers. Break 1 egg into each. Add 1 tablespoon milk into each tart. Sprinkle with nutmeg and pepper.
Place tarts on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake until eggs are soft cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes.
