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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Core the tomatoes and thinly slice. Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let drain for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off and reserve the drippings, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet; toast the bread on one side in the drippings until golden (do this in batches, adding more drippings as needed). Place the bread, toasted-side down, on a baking sheet.
- Combine the cheeses with the mayonnaise, scallions and parsley in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture on the toasts, reserving about 1/3 cup. Crumble the bacon on top. Shake any excess liquid from the tomatoes; distribute the zucchini and tomatoes among the toasts. Dot with the reserved cheese mixture and season with pepper. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
BACON TOMATO MINI TARTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- When the bacon is cooked and crispy, drain it on paper towels and let it cool. With your knife, cut it into slightly smaller pieces but don't make it into tiny bits and crumbles. You want to still taste the bacon chunks. Mix the bacon, tomatoes, onion, cheese, garlic, mayo and herbs in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Open your biscuits. Separate each biscuit with your fingers into 3 thin disks instead of just one. You'll need a mini muffin pan if you want your tarts to have a "middle." If you don't have a mini muffin pan, you can have mini "pizzas" instead by using a regular-sized muffin pan. If you have the mini muffin pan, take each biscuit disk and urge it into the muffin hole so it slides to the bottom and up the sides to form a tart crust. You can use your knuckle to get the middle of the crust to go to the bottom. If you are using a regular-sized muffin pan, the biscuit dough will just sort of sit flat in the bottom of the muffin indentation. Put a heaping teaspoon of mixture in each indentation. The whole mixture and the biscuit dough will make 24 tarts or mini "pizzas." Bake them at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes until browned on the edges. Let them cool slightly in the pan and then remove to let them cool. You can serve warm, room temperature or even store refrigerated and then re-heat and serve later.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality cream cheese. Look for a brand that is smooth and spreadable.
- If you don't have any chopped bacon, you can cook some up yourself. Simply cook the bacon in a pan over medium heat until it is crispy. Then, let it cool and chop it into small pieces.
- If you don't have any grape tomatoes, you can use cherry tomatoes instead. Just cut them in half.
- Be sure to use a sharp knife to cut the tarts. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Serve the tarts immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
