Brunch

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Yesterday was a lazy day, where as Saturday was fantastic weather! I was outside all day and loved every minute of it! It's nice to take advantage of those days because I find the weather is so unpredictable!


For some reason when I think of spring, I think of brunch. I guess because for a lot of people it is tradition to do a brunch with family during the Easter Holiday. While there are some restaurants that serve amazing brunch menus, note that you can also host a delicious and inexpensive brunch out of the comfort of your own home! Here is a pretty simple recipe that I found over the weekend, that will please your guest's stomachs & eyes this Easter!



Sunny Side Up Tart


Ingredients
  • 6 slices maple bacon, chopped
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 cups baby spinach
  • 397 g pkg frozen puff pastry, defrosted
  • 8 eggs

  1. Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 375F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add bacon and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and brown, 12 to 15 min. Add spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 min. Set aside.
  3. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into 2 10×10-in. squares. Pastry will be thin, and edges will be uneven. Transfer each square to a prepared baking sheet. Divide spinach mixture between both pastry squares, leaving 1/2-in. border around the edges. With the back of a spoon, make 4 shallow wells in the spinach mixture of each tart. (The eggs will later be cracked into these wells.)
  4. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching sheets halfway through, until pastry is very lightly golden and just puffed around the edges, about 12 min. Remove sheets from oven. Carefully crack an egg into each well on both tarts. Continue baking until egg whites are set, but yolks are still runny, switching sheets halfway through, 12 to 14 more min. Serve immediately with Cherry Tomato Jam.
  • Substitution Tip:

    Use regular bacon. Add 2 tbsp maple syrup to mixture before adding the spinach.
  • Make-Ahead Tip:

    Cook spinach mixture the day before. Refrigerate until ready to assemble tart.
