Bacon and Egg Mini Tartlets

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 6 large eggs
• 1 sheet shortcrust pastry
• 100 grams cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chives
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Cooking instructions

1. Prepare oven and pastry — Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out the shortcrust pastry and cut into 6 equal circles to fit a muffin tin.
2. Line tart shells with bacon — Line each muffin cup with a slice of bacon, forming a cup to hold the filling.
3. Add cheese and crack eggs — Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese into each bacon-lined pastry cup. Carefully crack one egg into each tartlet on top of the cheese.
4. Season tartlets — Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and chopped chives evenly over each tartlet.
5. Bake tartlets — Bake in preheated oven for 18–22 minutes until pastry is golden and eggs are set to your preference.
6. Cool and serve — Let tartlets cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Serve warm as tasty appetizers.
