Ingredients
- 1 pound of finely chopped bacon
- One large onion, finely minced
- Two tablespoons of dry mustard
- A hint of ground nutmeg (about ¼ teaspoon)
- A generous cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Half a cup of sour cream
- A dollop of mayonnaise
- Three cans of refrigerated crescent rolls (4 ounces each), or more if necessary
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir a delectable medley of bacon, onion, dry mustard, and nutmeg until they caramelize beautifully, which should take around 20 to 30 minutes. Once done, gently nudge the bacon mixture to one side of the skillet, tilting it slightly to allow the grease to drain away. Afterward, dispose of the excess grease and allow the bacon mixture to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the bacon mixture cools, preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 3
In a spacious bowl, combine the now cooled bacon blend with creamy mozzarella, tangy sour cream, and rich mayonnaise. Stir and mix until the concoction reaches a thick, paste-like consistency.
Step 4
Now, it's time to work with the crescent rolls. Open one can and carefully separate each triangle. Grab a trusty pizza cutter and slice each triangle into 5 strips by making 3 diagonal cuts, then halving the 2 longer strips.
Step 5
Scoop up about a teaspoon of the delectable filling and wrap it snugly with a strip of crescent dough. Don't fret if some of the filling peeks out from the bottom. Arrange these delightful bundles on a baking tray, gently pressing the tops to ensure they stand tall. Repeat this process with the remaining cans of dough and filling.
Step 6
Slide your assembled treats into the preheated oven and bake until they turn a glorious golden brown, typically around 15 to 20 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the power of layering: When storing your savory bacon onion tarts, layer them between sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking and preserve their crispy crust.
- 2. Utilize airtight containers: Seal the tarts in airtight containers to maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing unwanted odors in the fridge.
