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
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Throw your tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm them up and so they are more pliable.
  3. 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)
  4. Crack 6 eggs into a bowl, add the heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste, then whisk until combined and frothy. Set aside
  5. Divide the shredded cheese equally between the 12 tortilla cups by placing a little bit in the bottom of each.
  6. Next pour the egg mixture into each cup, dividing evenly among the 12 until each cup is about halfway full.
  7. Divide and sprinkle on top the crumbled bacon, roma tomatoes and sliced green onions.
  8. 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.
