It’s been a couple of months since I’ve participated in Secret Recipe Club, I decided to give myself a mini break from the fun the first few months with a newborn. The time off was nice, but I missed out on the fun of discovering new blogs and recipes so I just had to come back for August! This month I was assigned Sarah’s Kitchen and after some serious browsing I just knew I wanted to make a version of these Egg, Bacon and Cheese Tarts she shared last spring.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with spinach, I have been putting it in everything practically! So it should come as no surprise that I added a little to my tarts as well. These flaky, delicious breakfast tarts are a winning combination of bacon, egg, cheese and spinach that you are going to love.
Breakfast Tarts
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 4 tarts
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and diced
- 1 c shredded cheese, I used Monterey Jack
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 c fresh baby spinach
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface roll out the puff pastry into about a 12" square.
- Cut the dough into 4 equal squares and fold the edges into a circular tart shape.
- Place the tart shells on the baking pan and prick the bottom of the dough with a fork, bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool 5 minutes, place spinach into the bottom of each shell and sprinkle 1/4 c cheese on top.
- Make an indentation in the center of the cheese for the egg, arrange the bacon around the inside edge of the tart and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the yolk of the egg is set.
- Remove carefully from the oven and cool 5 minutes on the pan, serve warm.

Interesting idea. Everything rolled in one.
I so need to try these – they look so delicious…with the puff pastry, I bet it tastes sort of like a savory danish! YUM! 🙂 Visiting from group A! 🙂
Sara they were delicious you’ll love them!
These would be great for breakfast once my daughter starts back to school. Have you made them with the egg mixed and not just dropped on top of the puff pastry?
I haven’t yet, but want to try it that way next!
That looks like a delicious and satisfying breakfast!
This looks so good I kind of want to make it for dinner right now!
These look delicious, Emily! I love that you added some spinach! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us and pinning! Have a fantastic week!
What a great idea for breakfast! They look delicious. Pinning!
Oh my gosh, that looks like a truly delicious breakfast that would be impressive to serve for company, yet is straightforward enough for a “regular” morning, too! Great choice!

No puff pastry on hand so I used a crepe instead… and it worked. Your breakfast tart recipe is a delicious hit in my galley this week!
