Breakfast Tart

~ Breakfast Tart~
This recipe was given to me by one of my close friends, its great to serve for brunch my guests could not believe how good it was! The one negative is the tart tastes best when it is served immediately out of the oven so if you have alot of guests coming I recommend waiting for all of them to arrive! This Recipe contains Bacon so if you are a vegetarian I would recommend using soy bacon!



Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry dough
1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 tsp. water
1 packet hollandaise sause ( Prepared according to directions)
3-4 oz. shredded Swiss Cheese
Salt and ground pepper, to taste
8 bacon slices, cooked until crisp
4-5 Eggs

10 fresh chives chopped coarsely



Directions:
Thaw the puff pastry dough according to the package instructions.Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.On lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into a 10-by-8-inch rectangle. Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Using a paring knife, score a border 1/2 inch in from the edge of the pastry. Using a fork, prick the center of the pastry. Brush the border with the egg wash and refrigerate for 15 minutes.In a small bowl, stir together the prepared hollandaise sause and cheese, and season with salt and pepper.Spread the hollandaise sause mixture on the pastry, keeping the border clean. Lay the bacon on top, slightly overlapping the slices. Bake the tart for 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a level heatproof surface. Using a fork, prick any large air pockets in the pastry. Crack the eggs onto the tart, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 7 to 10 minutes.Transfer the tart to a platter, garnish with the chives and serve immediately. Serves 4
