- Cut into 12 equal squares, then add each square to the muffin tin openings. Use a cup or shot glass to press it down slightly, getting it into the edges. Place the tray in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

- Mix the bacon, garlic, cheese, and almost all of the scallions together in a bowl.1 clove garlic, ¾ cup sharp aged cheddar cheese, 2 scallions
- Add the filling evenly between each pastry cup, then pour the custard over top. Try to keep the custard in the pastry shell, then sprinkle on any remaining scallions.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375℉ (but add the pan right away) and bake in the center rack for 20 minutes until golden brown. It will be slightly golden and quite puffy, but will fall as it cools.
