    egg tarts on a plate.

    These flaky egg tarts are absolutely perfect. They not only look good but taste good as well. With a soft set yolk, perfectly cooked egg whites, and a flakey buttery crust in every bite, it's too good to resist. My husband ate 3 in one sitting and complained I didn't make more (there are four of us, haha).

    This recipe makes 6 wonderful tarts to share with the family, but it's so simple and easy you can double or triple as needed. This easy egg tart puff pastry recipe is one you'll want to keep on hand.

    These pastries are perfect for a nice brunch, so make sure to serve them with other brunch favorites like Big Fluffy Scones, Homemade Strawberry Pop Tarts, and Small Batch Cinnamon Rolls.

    🔪 Instructions for Puff Pastry Egg Tart

    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2: Slice your thawed puff pastry into 6 evenly sized pieces and place each square on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.

    Step 7: Top with an egg. Make sure to crack the egg into a bowl before pouring it into the puff pastry shell to avoid eggshells getting into the dish. They will be harder to remove otherwise.

    Step 8: Repeat until all 6 have been filled.

    Step 9: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F or until the yolks are soft set. Continue cooking for a harder yolk.

    Step 10: Top with sliced green onions, salt, and pepper to taste.

    Serve warm.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Use thawed puff pastry. When using frozen puff pastry for egg tarts, ensure it's thawed or close to it for easy handling.
    2. I use size A large eggs. Opt for a large egg for best fit, but smaller or larger ones can be accommodated.
    3. Cook eggs to your preferred doneness. For soft-set yolks, follow the recipe timing. For firmer yolks, add 3-5 extra minutes of cooking time after the yolks are soft.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How to store egg tarts

    Store the egg tarts in an airtight container with parchment or wax paper layers if needed. Do not store until completely cool and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat until warm before eating. For best results, eat when fresh as the crust will soften and eggs can easily become overcooked when reheating.

    Can egg tarts be made in advance?

    You can premake the shells in advance. Just bake and shape as directed and place in an airtight container after they've completely cooled down. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to three months and allow to come to room temp before using. Then continue with the recipe as directed.
