Roasted Red Pepper and Egg Tarts
This week, #SundaySupper has a breakfast for dinner theme – one of my favorites so far – but since I posted a waffle recipe a few weeks ago, I wanted to make something more on the savory side. These tarts, with their tangle of roasted red peppers and onions and sunny-looking egg, caught my eye as I was flipping through my copy of Jerusalem: The Cookbook and I knew they’d be perfect!
I cooked my eggs for 13 minutes – a little longer than the original recipe called for – and they came out just how I like them, with thickened jelly-like yolks that aren’t too runny. The tarts were unlike anything I’d ever eaten, yet they still seemed homey and vaguely familiar.
Paired with a simple salad of baby lettuce tossed with olive oil and my favorite blackberry-ginger balsamic vinegar, they made a great light meal that we both really enjoyed.
Roasted Red Pepper and Egg Tart
Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers cut into thin strips
- 1 red onion cut into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- ¼ cup loosely packed parsley chopped
- ¼ cup loosely packed cilantro chopped
- 1 sheet 1/2 package puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg beaten
- 6 tablespoons low fat sour cream
- 6 eggs
- sea salt and cracked pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400*F. Pile the peppers and onion on a baking sheet. Pour oil over top and sprinkle with thyme, cumin, and coriander. Use your hands to mix everything together. Spread out into an even layer and roast 30 minutes.
- Line a second baking sheet with parchment. Unroll the pastry onto the sheet and cut into six squares. Use a fork to poke indentations all over the pastry, leaving a 1/4 inch border around the edges. Refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425*F. Brush pastry with the beaten egg. Spread the center of each pastry square with 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Mix half of the parsley and cilantro into the roast vegetables then arrange onto the center of each pastry square, leaving a shallow crater in the center. Bake 10 minutes. Crack an egg into a small dish; carefully pour it onto one of the pastries, letting it settle into the crater that you left. Repeat with remaining eggs. Return to the oven and bake 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Top with remaining herbs and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Normally it would be very socially unacceptable to have wine with your breakfast, but seeing as this is closer to sunset than sunrise, we say go for it!!!

I totally need to use puff pastry more. These looks delicious. Something I know I would love but so would my husband!
It’s not something I use often either, but it’s so easy and so good! I wasn’t sure how my husband would feel about these, but they turned out to be a big hit.
These are so pretty! I’d almost feel guilty eating them.
Almost.
I know… they’d look so pretty sitting in the pastry case at a cafe, wouldn’t they? (If only eggs kept better!) Your guilt will be gone after the first bite though. 🙂
I am SUCH a sucker for runny egg yolks so this is my kind of breakfast-for-dinner!!
I’m sucker for eggs of all sorts. Except hard boiled…
THAT is the purtiest tart I’ve ever seen. And you and I like our eggs exactly the same!
I knew there was a reason I liked you! 😉 (and thanks!)
I love peppers and I love this recipe ! It looks so amazing! I’m thinking I may make this for breakfast today!! 🙂
peppers are one of my favorite vegetables. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Holey Socks!! This looks AMAZING!
holey socks?! I love it… never heard that one before. 😉
Ditto on the cookbook… can’t wait to buy it! And what a fantastic recipe and beautiful presentation… pinning now! 🙂
thanks!
I’m not a huge red pepper fan, but this recipe makes me want to be!
haha thanks. probably not the best recipe for you though then. I wonder if there’s something that would make a nice swap… maybe tomato?
I’ve been wanting that cookbook in the worst way! Every recipe I’ve even seen from it has been wonderful. Full of lovely flavors and beautiful on the plate. Your tart is no exception. So pretty and delicious, Lauren!
You should definitely get it! I was on the fence for ages but don’t regret the purchase at all. It’s beautiful and the flavors are all sot on and interesting. It’s one of my favorite books!
