This Italian Sausage Breakfast Tart is a tasty and filling dish that is great for brunch or any early morning get-together. It has a puff pastry crust that is flaky and is filled with tasty Italian sausage, bell peppers, onions, and a creamy mozzarella cheese and egg mixture.
Ingredients: 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed. 1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed. 1/2 cup diced bell peppers. 1/4 cup diced onions. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 4 large eggs. 1/4 cup milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish optional.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. Roll out the thawed puff pastry and press it into a tart pan, trimming any excess. In a skillet, cook Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into crumbles. Add diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet with the sausage and cook until vegetables are softened. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the puff pastry crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sausage mixture. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tart is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the tart cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm.
