Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

6 slices rye bread, crusts removed

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

6 large eggs

2 tablespoons whole milk

Crumbled bacon and radish sprouts, for serving

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir 4 tablespoons butter until smooth. On a clean work surface, lightly roll a bread slice with a rolling pin until it’s 1/8 inch thick. Brush both sides with butter and fit into a 4-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use a paring knife to trim edges flush with pan, then season with salt. Repeat with remaining bread. Transfer pans to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crisp and golden around edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely, then remove from pans.

Whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat a large nonstick skillet over low. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until just set into soft curds, about 15 minutes.

Spoon eggs into tart shells, sprinkle with pepper, and serve, topped with bacon and sprouts.
