Bacon, Egg and Cheese Tart

This quick and delicious breakfast takes simple ingredients and combines them to make a delicious morning meal.
I got this recipe/motivation from the Food Network magazine in one of my patient's rooms... it looked absolutely fabulous and I modified it to my own liking.  The pastry puff makes this tart flaky, light and crispy.  The bacon gives it a smokey crunch.  The egg seals it all together and topped off with a hint of chives.

Enjoy!

Takes approximately 30 min (mostly baking time)

1 sheet of Pepperidge Farm pastry puff cut into quarters
4 eggs
3-4 strips of bacon
Fresh chopped chives
Salt & pepper

1.  Take the pastry puff quarters and spread them onto a baking pan lined with foil or parchment paper.  Pre-heat the oven to 425* and use a fork to poke holes throughout the pastry puff to prevent bubbling.  Bake for 9-10 min until solid but not too golden (you will have to bake it again).

2.  While the pastry puff is baking, brown the bacon on the stove-top for 9-10 min.  Remove from heat, place on pan with paper towels to soak up the oil, and crumble.  

3.  Take the pastry puff out of the oven and let cool for a bit.  Use the back of the fork and make a groove into the middle of each puff by pressing down (try not to make any holes in the bottom).  Once flat, crack an egg in the tart.  Salt & pepper lightly, add crumbled bacon.  Return to oven for 10-15 minutes until egg white is... well, white (not clear).

4.  Remove from oven, sprinkle with chives.  Serve and enjoy!
