kcalA 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. Feel free to experiment to find your favorite way to enjoy these sunny breakfast cups.
Ingredients
Cooking spray for pie pan
1 pound thick-cut bacon, grease reserved
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup minced onion
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray the pie pan. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes depending o thickness. Remove the bacon from the skillet to drain on paper towels, reserving the remaining bacon grease in the skillet. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
- To the remaining grease in the skillet with the heat lowered to medium, add the minced garlic and onions. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, browning slightly. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the onion and garlic mixture into a small bowl. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream with a whisk for 2 minutes to combine.
- Add the Swiss and Gruyere cheeses, reserved bacon, onions and garlic, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Whisk to combine.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie pan.
- Carefully place the pan on the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 2- to 25 minutes, until the center has solidified.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Cool the quiche for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
