Spicy Egg Tart (Puff Pastry)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

There’s a great debate on eating ketchup with eggs. Seriously, no joke….I’ve seen the Reddit forums. You will never catch me putting ketchup anywhere near my eggs. Until now! Introducing Maya Kaimal’s Spicy Ketchup. Her version of ketchup is seriously delicious. It reminds me of chutney… spicy from hot chilies, a touch brown sugar, a little smokey from cumin, and a nice texture from the onions.

I used this ketchup as the base for this Spicy Egg Tart, and it was perfect! It’s great for brunch, or even dinner. This is an easy to make, comforting meal with just the right amount of spice. I haven’t even gotten to the brown sugar and cayenne candied bacon! You don’t want to miss out on this recipe!

The Spicy Candied Bacon

The first step in making this Spicy Egg Tart is making this brown sugar and cayenne bacon. We like to crisp up our bacon in the oven instead of on the stove top or in the microwave. In my opinion, this yields the best texture while also allowing a lot of the fat to render off into the baking tray. When you add a mix of brown sugar and cayenne pepper to this bacon it crisps up with a sweet, sticky coating that packs a little bit of heat. It’s SO good!

The Puff Pastry

I use store bought puff pastry dough for this tart. I love how flaky this makes the tart, but also feels light compared to pie dough, bread, or biscuits. I use one sheet of puff pastry for this recipe. I actually didn’t roll out the sheet of dough to make it larger and thinner. I simply let the dough defrost and then gently unfolded it to make the base of this tart. To get a nice crispy edge a border is scored all the way around and brushed with egg wash.

Before adding the cheese and Spicy Ketchup I use a fork to poke holes in the middle to ensure it stays flat to allow a place to add more shredded cheese and the eggs.

Spicy Egg Tart (Puff Pastry)

A delicious tart made from store bought puff pastry, pepperjack and goat cheeses, Maya Kaimal Spicy Ketchup, fresh eggs, and sprinkled with homemade spicy candied bacon.
Servings 2

Ingredients

Tart

  • 1 sheet puff pastry defrosted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 oz goat cheese or soft gournay (Boursin) softened, at room temp
  • 4 oz shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 3-4 tbsp Maya Kaimal Spicy Ketchup
  • chives and parsley to garnish

Bacon

  • 5 strips bacon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Place a wire (cooling) rack on a baking tray, and place bacon strips on top of rack. Do not overlap.
  • Mix together cayenne pepper and brown sugar. Sprinkle on both side of bacon.
  • Place tray of bacon in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until bacon is cooked to desired crispness.
  • While the bacon is cooking prep the puff pastry. Unfold defrosted puff pastry on the underside of a baking tray that has been lined with parchment.
  • Using a ruler or straight edge score a 1/2 inch border around the puff pastry using a sharp knife. Be sure not to cut through the puff pastry dough. Poke holes in the center of the dough using a fork.
  • Brush the edges with egg wash. If the bacon is still cooking place the tart dough inside the refrigerator until ready to bake.
  • After the bacon is cooked remove from oven and set aside.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and spread goat cheese in the center of the puff pastry sheet. Then spread of a thin layer of Spicy Ketchup over the layer of goat cheese.
  • Bake puff pastry with goat cheese and ketchup for 14-16 minutes until edges have puffed and are golden brown. Remove from oven.
  • Top the goat cheese and ketchup layer with shredded pepper jack cheese. Create wells in the cheese where the eggs will go.
  • Gently crack eggs onto tart (into each cheese well). Sprinkle yolks with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until egg whites are opaque. Cook longer if you like the yolks to be cooked through.
  • When the eggs are cooked and cheese is melted remove tart from oven and top with crumbled candied bacon, chopped chives, and parsley.

Notes

Normally store bought frozen puff pastry comes with two sheets, and this recipe can be easily doubled!
Leftovers won’t keep as well since puff pastry tends to get soft as it sits so this tart should be eaten within an hour after it is baked.

I would love to see your photos of this recipe! Tag me on Instagram or Facebook when you make my Spicy Egg Puff Pastry Tart!

Who's ready to eat more salads this year? Between Who's ready to eat more salads this year? Between all the comfort cooking during the pandemic and then the holidays I know I could use a few extra servings of greens and vegetables. I'm loving these expandable salad containers from Pop Bowl! They are perfect for anyone who is still on the go (that's my hubby), or if you like to meal prep (that's me!). They come in different colors, and have the just the right size dressing container included. I made this Mediterranean Chopped Chicken Salad for Sushil to take to work today in his Pop Bowl--sweet and spicy grilled harissa chicken, arugula and spinach, farro, golden raisins, walnuts, and a delicious herby tahini dressing. It's the best flavor combo! Head over to @popbowl_salads to grab a set for your fam and check out the salad recipe on their site!

My favorite food is easy comfort food made under 3 My favorite food is easy comfort food made under 30 minutes! This Jalfrezi Cauliflower Biryani checks all those boxes and more. I simply sauteed a whole head of cauliflower florets until just tender then added some sliced red bell pepper, onion, and 1/2 a jar of @mayakaimalfoods Jalfrezi Curry Simmer Sauce and cooked until the cauliflower was cooked through. Then in the same pot I layered the seasoned cauliflower with plain Surekha Rice and cooked covered for a few minutes on low until the rice was perfectly heated and absorbed all of that Jalfrezi curry goodness. So easy right!? And SO good. Loving all these vegetable forward dishes to start off the year....how about you guys? . . . #vegetablebiryani #biryanirecipe #easyindianrecipes #indianfusionfood #cookinghealthy #homecookingisthebest #semihomemade #cauliflowerrecipes #caulipower #lowercarb #healthyish #familymealtime #indianfoodlovers #desiinfluencer #chicagofoodies #chicagofoodbloggers #glutenfreerecipe #glutenfreevegetarian #easyhealthymeals #quickandeasymeals #weeknightmeals #cookingmadeeasy #kidapprovedfood #mombloggersofig #momswhocook #healthycomfortfood #foodinfluencer #indianfoodrecipes #onepotmeals #mealprepideas

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours. Using a tablespoon, scoop out little balls of the truffle mixture and roll in the palm of your hands. Place in a tray dusted with cocoa powder and roll the truffles in the cocoa if desired. Return the truffles to the fridge until ready to serve. . . . #smallbatchchocolate #easydesserts #holidaytreats #chocolatetruffles #homemadetruffles #kidfriendlyfood #cookingwithkids #healthydesserts #eatdessertfirst #holidaydesserts #indianfusionfood #desifoodie #momswhocook #chicagomoms #chicagofoodie #chicagofoodbloggers #homemadechocolate #elderberrybenefits #immunesupport #sambucolkids #glutenfreedairyfree #easyhealthymeals #nobakedessert
