Egg and Bacon Tarts
"I was looking for something a little different for lunch box snacks and came across this recipe in a magazine a few years ago. They can be served hot or cold and keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. DD loves to take these to school or as a snack to microwave at dancing. Sometime's I pop a cherry tomato in, or chopped spring onions or cheese on top which is also nice. The options are endless!!!
Another idea a friend had, was to use minature muffin pans and she made these for appetiser's at her party !!!"

Definitely delicious! Love everything that comes in bundles-ramekins, packets, muffin tins, not just grandbabies.:) I appreciate working with a versatile recipe that also frees me up so I can go do something else! I spread the butter on the outer side of the bread and forgot to grease the pan so am lucky I did it that way. I did roll out the bread, used Swiss cheese, fresh tarragon, and some paprika. Baked ours for 30 minutes at 325 degrees farenheit and moved it to top shelf in oven after first 17 minutes, and then broiled for another 3 minutes. I waited a few minutes before unmolding it. Thank you Tisme for posting. Made for Edition 8-Make My Recipe. -
I really liked this, but DH didn't care for the "runny" eggs. I think is is a definite repeat for me - maybe I'll make them again for a brunch I will be heading to on Friday. Thanks for posting! Made for I Recommend Tag Game. -
So simple, with only a few easy ingredients needed! This is great! I also like that it would be easy to add different toppings for different people, as other reviewers have indicated. Thanks for sharing! -
Originally rated on 10/3/09 - This recipe made it into my book#266453. We LOVED these egg and bacon tarts. I had decided to do a breakfast for dinner night and served these. They were a HUGE hit. I used regular muffin tins, 3 T. butter and heated my oven to 350 degrees. I used 100% whole grain bread, crusts cut off. The brushing of butter on the bread is key - don't skip that part. The flavor and texture it adds is mouth-watering. It's hard to explain, you'll just need to try it for yourself! These tarts were surprisingly filling. Notes for next time: I am going to crisp my bacon beforhand, then sprinkle them on during the last 5 minutes or so. (I like super crispy bacon.) Thank you for a keeper of a recipe. My daughter is already asking when I'll be making these again. I'd say today! ~Made for Oct. Aussie/NZ Swap~ -
Everyone is right - these are quick and delicious. I used regular sized muffin tins and sprayed them with olive oil spray so left out the butter and used the last of the Xmas ham diced up instead of bacon. Great result all round.
