    Cheesy, Flaky Breakfast Cups

    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!

    RECIPE BY Teri & Jenny
    Servings: 9

      INGREDIENTS  

    • 1 (10”x15”) sheets puff pastry, thawed
    • 9 strips bacon slightly undercooked, so still pliable
    • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
    • 9 large eggs

    • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced chives
    • salt and pepper to taste

      INSTRUCTIONS  

    • Preheat oven to 400˚F.
    • Slightly roll thawed puff pastry out to create a 12”x15” sheet.
    • Cut puff pastry into 9 (4”x 5”) pieces.
    • Press each piece of puff pastry into a cavity of a muffin tin and prick the bottoms and sides with a fork.
    • Lay a strip of partially cooked bacon into each cup, with the ends sticking out of each side.
    • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cheese over bacon. Crack an egg into each pastry cup and top with 1 tablespoon cream. Season with salt and pepper.
    • Sprinkle another tablespoon cheese into each cup place muffin tin into oven.
    • Bake cups for 15 to 18 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown, egg whites have set but yolks are still a little runny.

      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.

      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.
