Instructions

-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
-Roll out the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If making individual tartlets, use a biscuit or cookie cutter to cut the dough into rounds.
-Transfer the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
-In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese.
-Spread the filling evenly on top of the pastry, making sure to leave about a 1" border (for the rectangle tart). *Note - If making the round tartlets, place an even dollop of cheese directly in the center of each round.
-Spread the partially cooked bacon evenly over the cheese filling and top the tart with the remaining ½ cup of Parmesan cheese.
-Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and flaky.
-Remove the tart from the oven and immediately sprinkle evenly with the chopped scallions.
-Cool and serve.
