Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Take the 4 sheets of puff pastry out of the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature until they are pliable.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 6 bacon strips and cook until they are crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Let them cool slightly, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you a total of 16 squares.
- Grease a muffin tin lightly or line it with muffin cups.
- Press a puff pastry square into each muffin tin cup, allowing the edges to overhang slightly.
- Place an equal amount of chopped bacon into each puff pastry cup.
- Divide the crumbled feta cheese evenly among the cups, sprinkling it on top of the bacon.
- Carefully crack one egg into each cup on top of the bacon and feta mixture. Try to keep the yolk intact.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the eggs in each tart.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy, and the egg whites are set. The yolks should still be slightly runny for a perfect tart.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the tarts to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm.
Bacon, egg, and feta tarts are not only delicious but also versatile and easy to prepare. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a homemade dish that looks and tastes gourmet. Enjoy these warm, flaky tarts as part of your next meal or serve them at your next gathering for an impressive appetizer.
Bacon, egg and feta tarts FAQ:
Bake the tarts in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for approximately 18-20 minutes. They'll be ready when the puff pastry is golden and the egg whites are set, while the yolks remain slightly runny.
If you don't have puff pastry, you can use phyllo dough or a biscuit dough as alternatives. Note that this may change the texture and flavor of the tarts.
Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or a toaster oven until warmed through.
If you want to substitute feta cheese, try using goat cheese or ricotta for similar creaminess. However, the flavor will be different, so choose based on your preference.
The eggs in the tarts are done when the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny. This typically occurs after about 18-20 minutes of baking.
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before use to make it easier to work with.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a great texture to the tarts.
- Use a cupcake or muffin tin to shape and bake the tarts evenly.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with a little bit of beaten egg before baking to get a golden-brown finish.
- Feel free to add herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor and color.
