Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare pastry as directed on package. Roll 1/16-inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut into 1 1/2 to 2-inch rounds. Fit rounds into tiny muffin tins. (May need to adjust size to fit tin used.) Combine bacon, cheese and onion. Fill each cup with approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture. Beat eggs slightly. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour 1 tablespoon of cream mixture into each cup over bacon mixture. Bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes before removing. Can also make 1 or 2 days ahead. Wrap in foil and reheat at 350° for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 36 pieces.
