Crust:
- To make the crust, mix flour and salt in a bowl.
- Dice the cold butter and add into flour.

- Sprinkle the water evenly over the mixture and toss gently a few times, just until it forms a dough that holds together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes in the freezer before working with it.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out the dough and transfer to prepared mini tarte pan.
- Bake the crust for about 20 minutes or until firm.
- Remove the pans from the oven and brush with the beaten egg.
- Place once again the pans into oven and bake for about 5 minutes.

- To make a filling, dice or cut into strip bacon.
- Place the skillet over medium heat.

- Arrange the bacon and one half the cheese over the the bottom of each baked crust.
- In a bowl whisk the eggs, cream and milk.
- Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and whisk well.
- Coat with the egg mixture before sprinkling with the remaining cheese.
