Ingredients to make savory breakfast pop tarts
- Puff pastry dough
- Cheddar cheese
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Bell pepper
- Milk

Tips to make these scrambled egg pop tarts
- Cook the bacon first. Make sure the bacon is nice and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan, but keep the grease in there.
- Whisk the eggs with milk. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, a pinch of salt, and give it a good whisk. Adding milk to the eggs will give them a fluffy texture.
- Cook the eggs in the bacon grease. This was always Grandma’s secret. Cooking eggs in bacon grease gives them extra flavor!
- Cut the puff pastry dough with a sharp knife. Make sure to cut the squares evenly.
- Seal the edges of the pop tarts with egg wash. Make a quick egg-wash and brush along side the edges of the pop tart. Put the top square on, matching the edges up, then press with a fork to make sure it is sealed.
How to make bacon, egg and cheese pop tarts
- Cook the bacon and save the grease. Place the bacon on a cold cast iron pan, then set it over medium heat. This method of cooking bacon prevents it from shrinking. Remove the bacon from the pan when it’s done cooking, but leave the grease.
- Whisk together the milk and eggs. After the eggs are whisked and the milk is incorporated, scrambled them in the bacon grease.
- Dice the bell pepper. Toss them in the scrambled eggs.
- Scoop the scrambled egg mixture in to the middle of a puff pastry square.
- Mix an egg wash together. Brush the egg wash on the edge of the puff pastry square.
- Put another puff pastry square onto of the the other. Use a fork to press the edges together.
- Bake, eat, repeat! These scrambled egg pop tarts are yours to enjoy! Refrigerate them, freeze them, or eat them right away!
Scrambled Egg and Bacon Pop Tarts
These breakfast hand helds are even better because they can be frozen! Simply let them cool before placing them in single layer in the freezer. Once they are frozen, you can place the egg pop tarts in a freezer bag.
You can store these savory breakfast pop tarts in the fridge for up to 4 days. I can bet they won’t even last that long, but if you find they are being eaten slower than anticipated, just pop them in the freezer.

These were fantastic! So light and crispy on the outside. Filling too!
I have been looking for this!!! How do you reheat? Toaster? Micro?
Thank you!
Hello! You can reheat in the oven at 400 for 5-10 minutes, or in the microwave for 1 minute.
These pop tarts turned out great! The pastry dough I purchased ended up only being enough for 4, but they were scrumptious. I don’t eat meat so I used fake bacon bits and they really do taste like the toaster scrambles I used to get in the freezer section! Will definitely make again.
