Bacon-and-Egg Breakfast Tarts
When the author was testing this recipe, she had the idea to crack an egg on top of each tart and then bake them together. The results were a bit of a disaster, to say the least. In the end, she fried the eggs separately and placed them on top of the baked tarts, which is easy and very pretty, too. Make these for a special brunch, especially if you want to impress your friends or in-laws
