Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (half of a 17-to-18-ounce package)
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1 12 cups havarti cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 4 large eggs
  • kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • chopped fresh chives, for topping

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch square, then cut into 4 equal squares.
  • Slightly fold and pinch the edges of each square to form 4 round tart shells.
  • Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and prick all over with a fork.
  • Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
  • Let the tart shells cool slightly on the baking sheets.
  • If the centers are very puffy, prick with a fork to deflate.
  • Sprinkle evenly with the havarti and parmesan.
  • Make a shallow well in the cheese in the center of each tart and crack an egg into each; season with salt and pepper.
  • Top with the bacon, then return to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Top with chives.
