BACON, POTATO AND CHEESE TART



Bacon, Potato and Cheese Tart image

A great side dish with almost any meat. My grandmother used to make this using Swiss cheese. I've found that using Fontina cheese adds better flavor without those Swiss cheese strings.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon butter
18 slices bacon
1 ½ pounds baking potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 ¼ cups shredded fontina cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Coat an 8 inch round baking dish with the butter. Arrange bacon in a spiral fashion in the baking dish, draping ends of the slices over the pan edge to fold over filling.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes over bacon, and sprinkle with 1/3 Fontina cheese. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Fold bacon over filling to form the upper layer.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender. Drain any drippings, and cut into wedges to serve.

BACON POTATO CHEDDAR TART



Bacon Potato Cheddar Tart image

Mmmmm... bacon! This is a recipe from Chef Michael Smith that someone posted on Facebook. Once I saw it, I knew I had to make it! One piece of advice - go light on the salt because the bacon and cheddar both have plenty.

Provided by Silkster Hearts Food

Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs bacon
5 -6 large baking potatoes
4 cups cheddar cheese
1 sheet parchment paper
2 tablespoons pepper
1 onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the minced onions and garlic together.
  • Get a skillet (all metal, no rubber or plastic handles) or pie dish.
  • Coat the cooking area of the skillet with cooking spray.
  • Cut the parchment paper into a circle that covers the cooking area of the skillet, and place it in side the skillet.
  • Start lining the center of the skillet with a layer of bacon in a fan pattern, with one end of the bacon at the center and the other end hangs over the end of the skill. Each slice should overlap about a 3rd to half of the width of a bacon slice. Take care to stagger the bacon at the center so you don't end up with a very thick layer of bacon in the center of the pan.
  • Slice your potatoes in about 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • After the skillet is completely covered with bacon, start adding potato slices in layers inside the skillet on top of the bacon, creating a layer of potato on top of the bacon.
  • After completely adding a layer of potato that covers the bottom of the skillet, sprinkle some pepper, onions/garlic mixture, and a generous portion of cheddar on top of each layer.
  • Repeat the previous 2 steps until the potato & cheese layers are stacked about 1 inch above the top of the skillet.
  • Fold all of the bacon stips on top of the stack of potato until the top layer is completely covered.
  • Place a small, metal skillet or pot cover on top of the tart to hold the bacon in place during baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

POTATO-BACON TORTE



Potato-Bacon Torte image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings plus leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 strips bacon
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 Pie Crusts, recipe follows
3 medium baking potatoes, peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1 egg yolk, whisked with a splash of water
1 cup butter (2 sticks), cubed and chilled
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
8 to 10 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until just crispy. Drain on paper towel lined plate and set aside. Crumble the bacon when cool to the touch.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the thyme and cream over low heat to a bare simmer. Turn off the heat and let steep for about 5 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs.
  • Remove the pie pan from the refrigerator. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and then finely slice the potatoes. Working in circles, arrange the potato slices in the pie crust, stopping to season each layer with salt, pepper, and about 1/4 of the crumbled bacon. Continue layering until the pie pan is nearly full. Top with an even layer of the cheese and gently pour cream around and over the entire pie, allowing it to seep down between the potato slices. (You may not use all the cream.)
  • Roll out the remaining disk of refrigerated dough. Cover the pie with the dough and crimp the edges closed. Brush the top and edges of the crust with egg wash. Make a few slits in the center of the top crust, for the steam to escape, and put the pie pan on a baking sheet. Bake the torte until the crust is browned and crispy and the potatoes are cooked through, about 50 to 60 minutes. If the crust edges get too brown, cover them with some strips of aluminum foil. Remove the pie from the oven and let rest at least 15 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
  • Put the butter, flour, and salt in the food processor, and pulse lightly just until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing briefly after each spoonful of water. Keep adding water until the dough just begins to gather into larger clumps. Transfer equal amounts of the dough into 2 resealable plastic bags and pat each into a disk. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Remove 1 of the disks from the bag to a flour coated surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 10-inch round. Gently fit the rolled dough into a 9-inch pie pan, and refrigerate while you prepare the torte ingredients.

BACON, ONION AND CHEESE TART



Bacon, Onion and Cheese Tart image

This is my take on a traditional French tarte flambee, made on a crispy crust and topped with fromage blanc, bacon and onions.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 1h5m

Yield two 13-by-9-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slices thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into thin matchsticks
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1/2 cup farmer's cheese
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1 large egg yolk
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted
1 tablespoon ground pecorino
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saute pan, cook the bacon over a medium-low heat until it begins to render, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with pepper. Set aside to let cool. Add the thyme to the cooled bacon-onion mixture.
  • In a bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, creme fraiche, egg yolk and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Flour a flat surface and place the puff pastry on top. Flour the top and gently roll into a 13-by-18-inch rectangle. Cut the pastry in half and transfer each to a lined sheet pan. Using a fork, dock the puff pastry (pierce it slightly with the tines), leaving a 1-inch border untouched.
  • Divide the cheese mixture between the two sheets of pastry and spread evenly on the docked area. Top each tart with half of the bacon-onion mixture.
  • Place the tarts in the oven on the lower racks and bake, rotating halfway through, until the crusts are dark golden, about 25 minutes. Garnish with the pecorino and chives.

POTATO BACON CHEDDAR TART RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Potato Bacon Cheddar Tart Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by HeatherS

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds or so of room temperature bacon
1 minced onion
3 minced garlic cloves
4 cups of grated aged cheddar
Five or six large unpeeled baking potatoes
A sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat your oven to 350°F Carefully arrange the bacon in a radial pattern from the center of the bottom of a ten-inch, non-stick pan to the lower edge of the rim and continuing up and over it. Let the ends hang over. The slices should overlap slightly around the sides of the pan. To reduce the thickness of the bacon in the center stagger every other piece starting it two inches from the center and extending it further than the adjacent slices. With the palm of your hand, flatten the center area, leaving no gaps in the bacon. Season the bacon with pepper then sprinkle on several tablespoons of the grated cheddar. Slice the potatoes as thinly and uniformly as you can, about a quarter inch thick. Arrange a circular pattern of overlapping slices around the inside bottom edge of the pan. Continue arranging overlapping layers of the potatoes until the bottom is evenly covered. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Mix the onions and garlic together and sprinkle some of the mixture onto the potatoes. Continue with a layer of the grated cheese. Cover with another layer of the potato pressing it down firmly before continuing with alternate layers of the potatoes, onion mixture and cheese until the pan is full. Continue with several more layers in setting each a bit from the edge of the pan until the top is an inch or so higher than the pan's rim. Fold the overhanging bacon neatly up and over the top of the potatoes. Trim a small piece of parchment paper and place it in between an ovenproof lid and the bacon. This will prevent the bacon's ends from pulling back and shrinking during cooking. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for at least two and a half to three hours. You'll know it's done when a small thin bladed knife inserts easily. Pour off as much of the fat around the edges as possible. Let the tart stand for fifteen minutes then invert it onto a cutting surface. Slice into wedges and serve immediately. You may refrigerate any leftovers and reheat them later it in a microwave.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling
3 thick-cut bacon slices, chopped
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Pinch of sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Generous pinch of salt
Generous pinch of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (packed) coarsely grated Gruyère cheese

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening; using on/off turns, cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured work surface to 11-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of pan. Pierce crust all over with fork. Freeze 10 minutes. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crust 10 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is set and partially cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. Cool crust while making filling. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For filling:
  • Sauté bacon in medium skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Add onion and pinch of sugar to drippings in skillet and sauté until onion is deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Whisk cream, egg, egg yolk, pepper, salt, and nutmeg in small bowl to blend. Spread onion over bottom of baked crust; sprinkle bacon over, then cheese. Pour cream mixture over.
  • Bake until tart is puffed and filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool tart on rack 10 minutes. Remove pan sides. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the tart shell for 10-12 minutes before filling it.
  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead.
  • Add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This bacon, potato, and cheese tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes and bacon, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this tart a try.
