Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Unroll your sheet of puff pastry and slide it into 6 equal squares / rectangles. Transfer the puff pastry squares to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edge of the puff pastry, and dock it with a fork (by poking within the border with a fork).

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk one egg with a dash of water to make the egg wash. Then brush the beaten egg wash around the border of the puff pastry. Sprinkle the border with everything but the bagel seasoning if desired.

Step 5

Pre bake the puff pastry base for 10 minutes. Then take the pre-baked puff pastry out of the oven, and using the back of a spoon deflate the center.

Step 6

Carefully crack one egg into the center of each deflated puff pastry piece. Top with cheese, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Put the tarts back into the oven for another 10 minutes to finish baking (you should have a runny yolk with this timing).

Step 8

To finish, sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chives over top.
