Description
These Savory Breakfast Pop-Tarts are a fun and portable twist on the classic pastry — filled with eggs, cheese, and bacon (or your favorite fillings), wrapped in flaky pie crust, and baked until golden brown. They’re perfect for meal prep or busy mornings on the go.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust (or homemade pastry dough)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled (or use sausage or veggies)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or grated cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a nonstick pan until just set, then remove from heat.
- Unroll the pie crusts and cut each sheet into rectangles (about 3×4 inches). You should get 8 rectangles total.
- Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and cheese into the center of each.
- Brush the edges with beaten egg, then top with the remaining crust rectangles. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with seasoning if desired.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Customize the filling — try spinach and feta, ham and Swiss, or mushrooms and mozzarella.
- These freeze well: reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer until hot and crisp.
- For a flakier texture, chill the assembled tarts for 10 minutes before baking.
