Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 can crescent dough

Filling

  • 6 eggs
  • 2/3 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the crescent dough evenly on the baking sheet, pinching the seams together to seal.
  2. Fold crust and add filling: Fold the edges of the crescent dough inward to form a crust border. Crack the six eggs evenly onto the center of the dough. Sprinkle the shredded white cheddar cheese over the eggs, then scatter the cooked bacon pieces on top. Season the entire tart with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste.
  3. Bake the tart: Carefully place the baking sheet into the oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the egg whites are fully set but yolks remain your desired level of doneness.
  4. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives. Slice the tart into squares and serve warm for a delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Monitor the eggs closely while baking to achieve your preferred yolk consistency.
  • You can substitute white cheddar with any cheese of your choice like mozzarella or gouda.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and add sautéed vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms.
  • Ensure the crescent dough seams are well pinched to prevent any filling from leaking during baking.
  • This tart can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven for a quick breakfast.
