Friday, March 4th, 2011 - Breakfast Tart

Tonight I was craving breakfast for dinner... I was watching the Food Channel and “Everyday Italian” was on she was making a breakfast tart and I thought well I can make that... The ingredients she was using were a little to expensive for me so I had to substitute a lot of things to make it my own

Here it is: You will need a tart pan, if you do not have one a pie pan will work just fine. Make sure you butter the sides and the bottom. I am not that good at making my own pie crust so I used a pre made pie crust... line the pan with the pie crust trimming off the edges... remember to poke the bottom and sides with a fork all over to release the air bubbles ... put in a pre heated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. When done set aside and let cool a little.

While the crust is cooling you will want to start your filling ... you will need 5 eggs at room temperature, 1 tub of cream cheese at room temperature (you won't be able to mix it if it is to cold) 1 brick of Swiss cheese grated, 5 strips of bacon cooked and drained on a paper towel, 1 long green onion, 3 stalks of fresh asparagus and salt & pepper.

Beat the eggs in a large bowl, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth then add the cheese, diced onions, diced asparagus and crumbled bacon season with salt and pepper .. mix all together really well ... pour mixture into pie shell and smooth over to the edges ... bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes... your egg mixture will settle, puff up and the top will be golden brown .... Let sit for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven.

There you go... yummy! I wish there was a way to let you smell how good the kitchen smells while this is baking... my goodness it is delicious! You will just have to make it!!

This particular night I made some homemade apple sauce, get a pot chop up about 5 or 6 apples, I leave the skin on ... put in to pot with about 2/3 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 Tablespoons of cinnamon ... stir and let simmer for a good hour stirring occasionally to break the apples up ... it is a great homemade apple sauce and best of all you know what’s in it.
