# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Everything bakes on one sheet so you spend less time cleaning and more time with your people
  • The combination of flaky pastry and creamy custard feels like brunch from a fancy restaurant without the effort
  • You can customize the fillings based on what everyone in your family actually eats
02 -
  • The border you score acts as a built-in frame that rises higher than the center creating those beautiful bakery-style edges everyone loves
  • Pressing down the center after the first bake prevents puffy spots that would push your toppings off the pastry
  • The custard continues cooking slightly after you remove it from the oven so taking it out when it still has a tiny bit of wiggle ensures perfect texture
03 -
  • Cook the bacon the night before and store it in the refrigerator so morning assembly becomes quick and effortless
  • Freeze the second sheet of puff pastry if your package comes with two so you are always ready to make this tart again
