When guests come to visit, I like to make something special for breakfast. I’ve made a variation of this recipe for years, sometimes including bacon and spinach, sometimes tomato and cheese, and sometimes sausage and onion. The combinations are endless, which is the main reason I like this recipe. It is so versatile.
Simply layer your favorite chopped veggies, meat and cheese in a muffin pan and pour the eggs over the top. Then bake it all in a 375 degree oven and watch them ‘rise and shine’. I also like to top the cups with fresh chopped chives and serve with a dollop of sour cream or some zesty salsa.
These Cheesy Bacon and Egg Cups are always a winner. And they can be made ahead of time and heated up for the early birds in your house. In a hurry, there’s no fork necessary, just grab one or two and Go!
