These Bacon Asparagus Tartlets are in the latter category. You can make them ahead of time and serve cold, you can bake them and hold in a warm oven, or you can serve hot (just allow to cool for a second or two so your guests do not burn their tongues on the hot cheese!).

These also make a great little breakfast bite – wonderful for a brunch or on your holiday breakfast menu.

Ready in about 30 minutes or so, this recipe is easily doubled, tripled, quadrupled … ok, I think you have the idea. You can multiply the recipe to serve more guests or to allow more than three (my serving suggestion) Bacon Asparagus Tartlet per guest.

Notes:

● The bacon needs to be precooked.
● The asparagus in this recipe is not precooked. If you like a softer asparagus and want to sauté the asparagus for a bit to make it softer, allow it to cool down before using so it doesn’t cook the egg. You may be able to temper it, but cooling down would be easier.
● If you choose to go with raw asparagus, it will be firmer in these tartlets.

So, on to the yummy recipe…
