Reviews
Great tasting breakfast. Prepared per instructions( exchanged green onions for jalapeño) for hungry group of 8 adults. This recipe has been added for repeat use.
Delicious, made it as a breakfast while my mom was at work. my sisters and brother loved them. but not as much as my dad. would definitely recomend, easy for people of all ages
Simple, easy to make, and delicious!
So easy, good, and versatile! I don’t microwave the bacon first anymore as I have not noticed much difference.
Very sumptuous, all ingredients of a breakfast in a pretty small package, it was tasty and enjoyable!!!
This will be a good to go food soon I go back to work 🙂 just add the fillings I want to eat and maybe next time I dont need salt coz bacon a bit saulty already. I followed some suggestion i pre-cooked the bacon a bit so just need 10mins in the oven so the egg not too dry.
These are good though they can leave a pretty good amount of residue on the muffin pan even with cooking spray.
Great recipe, but consider skipping any more salt as there’s probably enough in the bacon and cheese. Made this recipe with only 8 eggs and still had extra I couldn’t fill into the muffin cups.
Added salsa to the eggs instead of the other? ingredients. Bacon was very salty so omitted salt and pepper. Sharp white cheddar on top, excellent!
easy and excellent – keeps well in the fridge
Great tasting breakfast idea for a big group or for kids on the run. I added cheese to the egg mixture before baking as well. Delicious
I made a few slight changes. I diced a ham steak and put it on bottom of each cup, added shredded old cheese and finely chopped spring onions. Topped with egg mix. Very tasty!
This was a great hit. I made this using thick cut bacon that I cooked for about 10-15 mins before adding the other ingredients. I cut the bacon in half so I had more pieces. I layed then in the bottom so that a little was sticking above the eggs which helped picking them out of the pan. I did I leave out the cheese because we are gluten free and dairy free. Leaving out the cheese did not take away from the overall aspect of the muffin. I added spinach and a little sautéed onions. I will make it again. The kids requested a little more crisp to the bacon next time, but the bacon was cooked through.
Turned out great! NOTE: Put another baking pan underneath the muffin cup pan, the eggs will rise and spill over into bottom of oven if you do not. I added diced red onion, red pepper and baby spinach to these and they are fantastic. This increased the cook time by approx 10-15min but it is worth the wait. All happy belly’s!
I used swiss cheese and cheddar cheese combined.
I baked the bacon for 10 minutes, then laid it around the edge of muffin pan. On top of that a slice of deli ham was placed into cup thus creating a cup for the egg mixture. Worked nicely. Filled with onion, jalapeño, and mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Topped with Cheddar.
Easy and delicious, everyone loved them and they were great leftovers!
Delicious and filling!
Added mushrooms and broccoli. Family loved it.
Perfect for lunch, brunch, or meal prepping!
Mine turned out great! I did tomato, spinach, cheese, onion. Sooo yummy.
