If you are looking for a delicious brunch that is easy to whip up, I’ve got you covered with this Bacon, Bleu Cheese, and Potato Tart. Tangy bleu cheese paired with savory bacon and thinly sliced potatoes all wrapped in a golden flaky crust and drizzled with a sweet & spicy honey. Best paired with a mimosa (or two).
- Servings– 4
- Total Time– 1 hour
Potato Tart Ingredients:
- Puff Pastry– if frozen, allow to thaw before rolling out.
- Red Potato– thinly sliced. I mandoline slicer is great for this. It allows you to get a paper thin cut quickly without losing any finger tips.
- Red Onion
- Olive Oil
- Mascarpone Cheese– a soft, spreadable Italian cream cheese. This can also be substituted for a cream cheese such a Philadelphia.
- Bleu Cheese– for a bit of tang. If you aren’t a fan of bleu cheese, give goat cheese a try.
- Thick Cut Bacon
- Cream– to mix with the cream cheese to thin it out and to mix with the egg wash. I like to use half & half (a mix of milk and cream).
- Egg
- Honey– to give contrast to all of the savory flavors.
- Hot Sauce– this will be used to mix the spicy honey.
- Chili Pepper Flakes
- Fresh Rosemary
- Salt & Pepper

Crack a bit of pepper on top.
