This recipe is one of my favorites, therefore I try to use any justification to prepare it. You won’t ever want to make kugel using another recipe again because of the ideal balance of crispy and sweet.

| Total Time: | 40 mins |

| Yield: | 12 mini frittatas |
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ½ pound bacon
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1 ½ tablespoons water
- 10 eggs
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle.
- Meanwhile, place broccoli and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook on high until tender, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove cover and drain any liquid.
- Crack eggs into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer bacon and broccoli into each muffin cup, filling about 1/3 full. Pour egg mixture into each cup, leaving a bit of space at the top. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean or nearly clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
- You can use ham or sausage in place of the bacon, and any vegetables (tomatoes, mushrooms) can be substituted for broccoli.

Reviews
These were pretty good. I liked the broccoli/bacon/cheese combo and these can easily be tailored to your favorite add-ins. I found with the bacon, these didn’t need any added salt. I enjoyed them fresh out of the oven, however reheated they were just ok. Very simple to make for a crowd. I baked mine for 20 mins in silicone molds, however next time I would maybe do 17-18 as the bottoms were getting a little too done for my tastes.
