First off, anything vwrapped in puff pastry is destined to be delicious. Second, anything with both bacon and a saucy ground beef mixture is similarly going to be a homerun. Topped with an egg and baked all together and you're in for an incredibly decadent breakfast. Since these take a bit of preparation, they're great for a weekend brunch or dinner. An arugula salad with a mustardy vinaigrette would be a welcome addition to cut through the richness.
