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!

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 :)
