Servings: 6
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 12 Flour Tortillas, street taco size
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
- Salt, to taste (½ tsp)
- Pepper, to taste ¼ tsp)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Green Onions, sliced
- 1 Roma Tomato, diced
- 5 Bacon Strips, cooked and crumbled
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Throw your tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm them up and so they are more pliable.
- Grab a muffin pan and lightly spray each tin with cooking oil. Place one tortilla in each tin and press down slightly in the center to create a small bowl/cup. (Use fist and knuckles, not fingers)
- Crack 6 eggs into a bowl, add the heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste, then whisk until combined and frothy. Set aside
- Divide the shredded cheese equally between the 12 tortilla cups by placing a little bit in the bottom of each.
- Next pour the egg mixture into each cup, dividing evenly among the 12 until each cup is about halfway full.
- Divide and sprinkle on top the crumbled bacon, roma tomatoes and sliced green onions.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, Remove and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes then serve!
Notes
- HOW TO STORE EASY EGG BITE CUPS:
- Refrigerate: Pop any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- HOW TO REHEAT EASY EGG BITE CUPS:
- Reheat: When the hunger pangs strike, just microwave them for about a minute or until heated through. Be sure to watch out - those tomatoes can get steamy!
- CAN THIS BE FROZEN?
- Oh, you bet! These little cups of joy freeze beautifully. After they’ve cooled, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze till firm, and then transfer to a freezer bag or container. They’ll be your new “frozen food” guilty pleasure and can last up to 3 months. When you’re ready, reheat them straight from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the microwaving time.
- CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?
- Absolutely! Planning a brunch or just preparing for the week ahead? Make them a day or two in advance, refrigerate, and simply reheat when you’re ready. They’re the perfect “I totally planned this impressive breakfast” trick up your sleeve.
- SUBSTITUTIONS & VARIATIONS
- Alright, kitchen rockstar, here’s where you can get creative:
- Go Veggie: Not into bacon? Swap it out for some sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or your favorite veggies.
- Cheese Swap: While cheddar is undeniably delicious, feel free to use mozzarella, feta, or even a spicy pepper jack!
- Spice It Up: A dash of hot sauce or some chopped jalapeños will give these bites a kick. Or, for an Italian twist, throw in some basil and sun-dried tomatoes.
- HELPFUL COOKING NOTES
- To ensure your breakfast stardom:
- Tortilla Tip: If you don’t have a microwave, you can also warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 10 seconds on each side. They’ll become soft and pliable.
- Whisking Wisdom: Getting that frothy texture when whisking the eggs and cream is the secret to ultra-fluffy egg cups. So, channel your inner whisk-wielding wizard and whisk away!
- Fill ‘Em Up: Try not to overfill the tortilla cups. They might look like they can handle more, but trust me, keeping it to halfway ensures no messy oven mishaps.
