Puff pastry is a staple in my kitchen. Versatile, convenient, and easy to use, it’s my go-to for many sweet and savory creations.

With a few boxes on hand, you can quickly and easily bring to life impressive appetizers your guests are sure to line up for. From meaty calzones and fruit turnovers to these egg tarts, it’s an ingredient you wouldn’t want to do without.

What you’ll need

If you’re looking for the perfect first meal of the day or the best anytime pick-me-upper, these breakfast-in-bread treats are it! A couple of sheets of puff pastry, some eggs, a handful of crisp bacon, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions, and you’ve got a delicious and filling meal.

Runny or set yolks

I cook the yolks soft but not runny when I plan to bring a few pieces on the go. This way, it’s easier and less messy to eat when I am out and about. But if I am going to have the bread for a sit-down breakfast or brunch, I undercook the yolks. Flaky pastry drenched in runny yolks? Truly one of the best pleasures on earth!

Around 15 minutes of bake time will give you soft yet set yolks, and around 10 to 12 minutes will yield wet yellows. Just make sure to par-bake the puff pastry a little longer if you’re going to undercook the eggs so you don’t end up with raw dough.

Handling the puff pastry

  • Thaw out the pastry until it unfolds easily but not for more than 40 minutes. It should be easy to handle but cold to the touch.
  • If the pastry starts to get warm during preparation, stick it back into the freezer for about 5 minutes or in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • If the pastry cracks when unfolding, dab it with a bit of water and gently press the cracks to seal.

Serving suggestions

These baked egg tarts are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or midday snacks. Enjoy them with a hot cup of coffee and some fresh fruit for a delicious way to start your day!

Reheating instructions

Puff pastry should be eaten within a few hours of baking as they tend to lose their flakiness over time. To re-crisp, bake in a 400 F oven for about 4 to 5 minutes.

8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets (17 ounces) Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry
  • 8 ounces Havarti cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 8 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry at room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes or until it’s easy to unfold and handle.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each pastry sheet and cut into four. Fold and pinch edges of each sheet to form a tart shell.
  • Arrange in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake in a 425 F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and allow pastry shells to cool. Prick a few times with a fork to deflate if puffy in the center.
  • Sprinkle top with cheese. Make a shallow well in the center of each pastry shell and crack an egg into the well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with bacon.
  • Return to oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until whites are set.
  • Remove from oven and garnish with green onions. Serve.

Notes

Handling the Puff Pastry
  • Thaw out the pastry until it unfolds easily but not for more than 40 minutes. It should be easy to handle but cold to the touch.
  • If the pastry starts to get warm during preparation, stick it back into the freezer for about 5 minutes or in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • If the pastry cracks when unfolding, dab it with a bit of water and gently press the cracks to seal.

    These look so good. I wonder how they would turn out with scrambled eggs instead. My kids are scrambled egg kids, not over easy egg kids. Regardless I am going to try this out for sure. Thanks for the receipe.

      I’ve never tried it with scrambled eggs but sounds like a delicious idea. I’ll probably layer a baking dish with the puff pastry and pour the beaten eggs over instead of doing the bread individually.
