BACON AND EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. If using 14-oz. package of puff with 1 sheet of pastry, roll pastry to a 18x13" rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut in half crosswise; reserve remaining piece for another use. If using 17-oz. package with 2 sheets of pastry, roll 1 sheet to a 13x9" rectangle on a lightly floured surface; reserve remaining sheet for another use. Cut pastry lengthwise parallel to 13" side into 14 (1/2"-wide) strips. Transfer strips to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and chill while assembling casserole.
• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add 6 eggs, cover, and cook 7 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely. Peel eggs.
• Meanwhile, working in batches, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10-12 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels, then transfer bacon fat to a small bowl. Let bacon cool, then coarsely chop.
• Heat 2 tsp. bacon fat in same skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens and turns translucent, 5-7 minutes.
• Grease a 13x9" pan with 1 Tbsp. bacon fat; discard remaining fat or reserve for another use.
• Whisk 8 eggs in a large bowl. Add cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and 2 cups cream and whisk to combine. Add potato, spinach, onion, and chopped bacon and stir to combine. Pour into prepared pan. Cut cooked eggs in half lengthwise and arrange over filling, then press down so top edge of egg is even with top of filling.
• Arrange chilled dough strips lengthwise 1" apart on the diagonal, trimming to fit flush against edge of pan; use trimmed dough on shorter sides. Lay more strips over arranged strips going the other direction, creating a lattice-like (but not woven) design. Brush dough with remaining 1 Tbsp. cream with a small pastry brush.
• Bake casserole, rotating pan halfway through, until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 50-55 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Pastry strips can be cut 1 day ahead; arrange on rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill. Filling can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Baked casserole can be made 1 day ahead; wrap tightly in plastic and chill. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 20 minutes.

BACON AND EGG EMPAñADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. and butter a baking pan.
• On a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin roll out each empanada wrapper into a 7-inch round. Finely grate Cheddar and in a bowl whisk together with eggs and salt and pepper to taste. Chop scallions. In a nonstick skillet heat 1 teaspoon butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté bacon until golden, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer bacon to a plate and add remaining 2 teaspoons butter to skillet. Heat butter until foam subsides and sauté scallions 15 seconds. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until eggs just begin to set but are still very loose, about 30 seconds. Arrange 1 piece bacon 1/4 inch from edge of 1 empanada wrapper and spoon half of egg mixture on top of bacon. Fold empanada wrapper over filling to create a half-moon shape and seal by pressing edges together firmly with a fork. Make another empanada in same manner.
• Transfer empanadas to baking pan and cut a few small slits in top of each empanada to create steam vents. Bake empanadas in middle of oven until golden, about 10 minutes.

EMPANADAS

Steps:

• DAY BEFORE: Cream butter and cream cheese together until smoothly blended. Beat in the flour. Shape dough into a smooth ball, wrap in foil or cling wrap, and refrigerate overnight or up to a week.
• AT BAKING TIME: Remove dough from refrigerator 30 minutes before using. Start heating oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll chilled dough thin. Cut with 3 or 4 inch round cookie cutter. Place small spoonful of jam in center of each round, moisten edges with water.
• Fold round over and press edges together. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately roll in sugar mixed with cinnamon (traditional) OR in confectioners' sugar if preferred.

BACON AND EGG TACOS

CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS

Steps:

• Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
• Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
• Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.
