Previously, I’ve shared recipes on how to create homemade pop-tarts, mini pop-tarts, & mini pop-tart cereal. Now I’ve come to you with my latest creation: breakfast pop-tarts. I know what you’re thinking, “Aren’t all pop-tarts considered breakfast?” Well, in my opinion they should be considered dessert but that’s not the argument I’m making today. Today I’m here to teach you how to combine all your favorite breakfast foods into one pop-tart recipe. Think bacon, eggs, & cheese, or everything bagels with cream cheese. Both will today become a pop-tart recipe! Confused? See the recipe below & give it a shot yourself! Fill them with eggs or cream cheese & top with lox, capers, seeds, quail eggs (they’re super teeny & cute!), mini bagels, bacon, & so much more!
