These simple Puff Pastry Breakfast Tarts are my new go-to breakfast recipe. They are the perfect combination of buttery, flakey pastry & classic savory breakfast flavors. Made with 5 simple ingredients like bacon, eggs, and cheese, these tarts bake up golden in under an hour. They're simple, customizable, and sure to become a go-to breakfast favorite.
Preheat oven to 400β. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll thawed puff pastry, and roll it out a bit thinner with a rolling pin. Slice it into 6 equal rectangles. Transfer the pieces to the baking sheet.
1 sheet of puff pastry
Fold the edges inward, only about ΒΌ inch, and press the edges with the back of a fork to seal them. Prick the inside surface of the rectangle all over with the fork to prevent bubbling.
Sprinkle the cheese and crumbled bacon on the outside edges, making a well in the middle of each puff pastry for the eggs.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 6 pieces of bacon
Carefully crack an egg in each well, and then top with salt and pepper to taste.
6 medium eggs, salt & pepper
Bake the tarts for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown and the egg whites have set. 20 minutes gave me fully cooked egg yolks.
Top with chopped chives and serve warm.

Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
To reheat, place in a toaster oven or oven at 350β until warmed throughout. You can also use a microwave, but the puff pastry won't get as crispy.
Note that the egg yolk will continue cooking when warmed up.
