Warm up the oven to 180°C (around 350°F). Roll the puff pastry out on a slightly floured countertop and cut small circles out with a glass or a cookie-cutter. Cook the bacon bits in a pan over medium heat until they turn crispy and golden.

In a bowl, combine the eggs, fresh cream, grated comté, nutmeg, and black pepper.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the pastry circles on it. Spread the cooked bacon evenly on the pastry bases. Spoon a bit of the topping mix onto each one. Pop them into the oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, until they look golden and cooked through.
