Add the sausage patty followed ⅓ of the scrambled egg, 1 slice of bacon (cut in half) and the other half slice of cheese.
Cover the ingredients in the other half of the puff pastry.
Using a fork, crimp the edges of the two slices of puff pastry together and repeat this for the remaining other ingredients.
Coat the top of each on in the beaten egg wash, and sprinkle on some everything bagel seasoning.
Bake in a 400ºF oven for 20 minutes. Take them out and add the other slice of cheese on top, and place back in the oven for a few minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Next the Eggs Benedict Pop Tarts:
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a frying pan on medium high.

Using a fork, crimp the edges of the two slices of puff pastry together and repeat this for the remaining other ingredients.
Bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes.
Make the Hollandaise Sauce:
Melt the butter. Whisk the egg yolks and the lemon juice until they combine and double in volume.
After the eggs and lemon are combined, make a double boiler using a bit of water at the bottom of a pot. Bring it to a bowl and place the bowl on top of the steam. While whisking, slowly add a little bit of the melted butter at a time. Make sure to take the bowl off the heat periodically to avoid the eggs from scrambling.
Continue to whisk until the sauce has thickened and doubled in volume. Season with salt, and smoked paprika.
Add the Hollandaise sauce to each tart and garnish with chopped chives , enjoy!
