Mini Bacon and Egg Tarts

Ingredients:

  • 8 (1-ounce) slices whole-wheat white sandwich bread, crusts removed

  • Cooking spray

  • ½ cup reduced-fat milk

  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

  • 2 slices smoked bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • ½ cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.

  2. Lightly coat both sides of bread with cooking spray. Press each bread slice into the cup of a muffin tin. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes or until bread is lightly toasted. Cool slightly.

  3. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.

  4. Combine milk and eggs, stirring well with a whisk. Divide the egg mixture evenly among bread cups. Sprinkle onions, if desired, and bacon evenly over tarts; top each tart with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until set.
