Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Tart.
Say it with me now.
CHEESY BACON BREAKFAST TART!
Holy. Moly. I want to eat this tart for breakfast, lunch, linner, brinner (breakfast for dinner), dinner, and everything in between.
And guess what?
That’s exactly that Trevor and I did this past weekend with all our leftover tarts.
This cheesy bacon-y deliciousness, I promise you, is easier to make than it sounds (does anyone else think “tart” sounds so fancy?!) and even easier to eat. π
Today, we’re keepin’ things simple and using store bought pie doughΒ and filling the doughΒ with the most decadent, delicious, ultra flavorful sweet potato, bacon, gouda, egg filling.
Seriously, you guys, just stop reading, skip to the bottom of this post and RUN to the store for the ingredients so you can have an ultra yummy brinner tonight.
Anyone with me?!
The other day I had a serious craving for eggs. As with most of my recipes, what started as eggs quickly became eggs + sweet potato + bacon to make a hash-like deal, then I had some leftover pie dough from another recipe experiment.
AΒ little bit of this and a little bit of that, a whole lotta cheese, because #cheese, and there you go, a Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Tart was born!
This recipe starts with bacon – I mean, as all good breakfast recipes, do, of course. π
Today, we’re usingΒ Dry Aged Cherrywood Smoked Bacon Slices from Jones Dairy Farm. As I started cooking up the bacon in my pan, I said to Trevor, “This is some seriously nice bacon.”
And I wasn’t kidding, this bacon is thick, sturdy, and holds up really well. You know how whenΒ you cook really thin bacon it just falls apart on you?
Yeah. Not happening here. Probably because Jones Dairy Farm has been around for more than 127 years, so these guys seriously know what they’re doing.
All of their bacon, sausage, and ham products are certified gluten free, they never use binders or fillers, and are free from MSG, nitrates, and preservatives!
This bacon is the real deal and it seriously makes a difference. Not to mention that this isΒ Cherrywood SmokedΒ Bacon, so it’s just a teeny bit sweet. Sweet + salty bacon? Heavenly.
Once the bacon is nice and crispy, you’re going to remove it from the panΒ and throw in some diced sweet potatoes.
Yeah. You’re cooking sweet potatoes IN the bacon fat.
There is no better smell in the world.
Until you add the diced onions, that is. π
The sweet potatoesΒ and onions get nice and tender and then you’ll throw in some spinach, garlic, and season everything with a bit of salt and pepper.
Then, as if it couldn’t get any better, you’ll throw in some cubed gouda <– OMG. OMG. OMG.
That’s it for the meat/veggie mixture. Set this aside while you prep your tarts.
Take 6 of thoseΒ mini tart pans and fill them with pie dough.
Wanna know a secret? I bought refrigerated pie crust. Don’t judge me. It’s delicious! π
It comes in a box thatΒ contains two 9 inch sheets. All you need to do is cut three circles – slightly larger than the mini tart pan – on each sheet. Then gently press each circle into the bottom and sides of the pan.
Easy peasy, yes? π
Then, prick the bottom of the crust and pre-bake for a quick couple of minutes.
Now fill each tart with that ah-mazing bacon/vegetable mixture – if you haven’t eaten all of it already.
Pour on some whisked eggs and milk, bake ’em for about 20 minutes, and you, my friend, have just made the BEST Easy Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Tart Recipe!
Buttery crust + salty bacon + tender veggies + cheese, eggs, and a splash of milk. . .
Could breakfast (or brinner) BE any better?!
