This bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast galette combines crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a baked egg in a flaky, buttery crust for a gourmet start to your day. It's the perfect blend of savory flavors and textures, making mornings truly special.

Ingredients

  • 5 pieces of bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • 1 cup shredded mexican or cheddar cheese
  • 5 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Place the onions and bacon bits into a saucepan with a little oil on the stove over medium heat.
  3. Let these cook, stirring every few minutes, until browned. This will take 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat when done and let cool.
  4. Unravel the puff pastry and cut into 6 pieces. Place on the parchment paper about 2 inches apart from each other.
  5. Once the bacon mixture has slightly cooled, place a tablespoonful onto each puff pastry slice. Spread the bacon to create a well in the center.
  6. Place some shredded cheese inside each well. Fold the edges of each puff pastry to create a border so the egg doesn’t come out when cracked inside.
  7. Lastly, crack each egg into the center of each pastry on top of the cheese. Mix the salt, pepper and garlic powder and sprinkle over each egg.
  8. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and the egg is cooked to your liking. (Some like sunny side up or cooked hard)
  9. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with some chopped parsley for garnish.
  10. Enjoy!
