These little breakfast cups are delicious. Flaky and cheesy, with eggs and bacon? Yes please. I love how crispy the edges of the bacon get when this gets baked. I am also really into the ease of using store bought puffy pastry for this. It just makes the entire process to easy. It also gives you the flexibility to make as little or as many of these as you might want. Enjoy!

I love this recipe! I changed it, but that’s what I do. I consider recipes as inspiration for ingredients that I have on hand. I did not have puff pastry but I had leftover cooked rice. So I layered butter, chopped onion, chopped asparagus, cooked rice, partially cooked bacon, egg cheese, cream then a little more cheese And baked according to the instructions. I was cooking for two, so I used individual compotes instead of a muffin tin but I’m sure a muffin tin would’ve worked just as well. My egg was fully cooked but that was fine with me
Do you have suggestions for how to make these ahead of time and reheat? Do you think they’d freeze OK? I was going to scramble the eggs/cream.
Love these recipes , always a hit!!!!!
Wow looks delicious and tasty
what a great breakfast idea, thank you, love the serving size too
These were wonderful. I left out the bacon because I didn’t have any. I made a couple of cups with cheese & artichoke and cheese & oven-roasted tomatoes. Outstanding! Thanks for the recipe.
Glad you enjoyed :)
