  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange the tart shells in two 12-cup muffin tins, then line each shell with pie weights or dried beans.

  2. 2

    Bake in the preheated oven until the crust edges are lightly browned and the shells are about 3/4 cooked, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them rest until needed.

  3. 3

    While the shells bake, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.

  4. 4

    Combine 1 cup Swiss, green onions, and the crumbled bacon in a bowl; divide the mixture evenly among the tart shells.

  5. 5

    Whisk the milk, eggs, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Ladle the egg mixture into each tart shell until about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Swiss over the tarts.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until the centers are set and the shells are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
