Bacon Egg and Cheese Cups
A simple egg scramble inside a bacon cup is topped with cheese in this savory, compact meal made in a cupcake pan. I enjoy using this basic recipe and adding different cheeses or toppings, like mozzarella and basil or onion and Cheddar.

Ingredients
- 6 bacon slices, divided
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 large pinches of black pepper
- 0.5 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Wrap one bacon slice inside a cupcake tin around the edges, so it covers the sides of the tin. Repeat with three more slices in three more tins.
- Cut the remaining two bacon slices into 2-inch pieces. Place 2 to 3 bacon pieces at the bottom of each baconwrapped cupcake tin so each is fully covered.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the bacon-wrapped tins. Cover each with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
- Carefully place the cupcake pan in the oven to avoid spillage.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
