Bacon and Egg Breakfast Tarts

Ingredients

  • 1 (11 ounce) package pie crust mix
  • 1 (6 ounce) package Canadian-style bacon
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Prepare pastry for a one crust pie as directed on package. Divide pastry into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a 6 inch circle on a well floured, cloth covered board with a floured, cloth covered rolling pin. Fit pastry over backs of large muffin cups (3 x 1 1/2 inch), or 6 ounce custard cups; make pleats so pastry will fit closely. If using individual pie pans or tart pans, cut circles 1 inch larger than inverted pans, and fit into pans. Prick surface. Place tarts on an ungreased cookie sheet.
