Bird In A Nest Tarts
Bird in a Nest Tarts | Show off your skills at your next Easter brunch or luncheon. That’s what your friends will think when they see this eye catching tart. They don’t have to know how easy it was to make. If they did, they wouldn’t care! The only thing they will remember is how delicious it was. From the crispy crust, creamy melted cheese to the savory egg. This is the perfect brunch, luncheon or breakfast buffet dish! All you need is a big bowl of fruit salad and you are set. Yep, it’s that simple!
These Bird in a Nest Tarts are my version of the popular Egg in a Hole. Like this one from the Pioneer Woman—->>>>Egg in a Hole Recipe. While this recipe is for everyday, mine is a little fancier for a special occasion. Like an Easter Brunch or just to show your sweetie how much you appreciate them! If serving a bowl of fruit isn’t enough how about adding a parfait? Like my neapolitan parfait or peach cobbler parfait?
Making this tart is super easy. So, let’s get started!
Roll a piece of frozen (thawed) puff pastry into a 12×12-inch square; cut into 4 equal sections, fold up the sides.
Bake and push down any of the pastry that has puffed up.
Let cool; add cheese making a well in the center for the egg.
Add bacon bits, salt and pepper.
Bake until golden and the eggs is over medium.

I made these today for Mother’s Day brunch and they were a huge hit! The eggs took a bit longer to set in my oven, but they were worth the wait. Huge presentation props! Highly recommended.
