Easy Mini Spinach and Bacon Tarts

These tarts feature a buttery pastry crust filled with a creamy spinach and bacon mixture, baked until golden and delicious. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 mini tarts.

Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 3-inch circles. Press each circle into a greased mini muffin tin.
Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fill the Tarts: Spoon the filling into each pastry shell, filling them about 3/4 full.
Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
Cool and Serve: Allow the tarts to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
