Can I use different cheese types?

Yes, Swiss, feta, or your preferred cheese can replace cheddar to vary the flavor.

How do I prevent the egg cups from sticking?

Lightly grease the muffin tin with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal of the egg cups.

Absolutely, chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms can be added for extra taste and nutrients.

You can omit the bacon or use vegetarian bacon strips for a meat-free option without losing texture.

Serve warm, ideally with fresh fruit or toast, to complement their fluffy texture and savory topping.

Fluffy scrambled eggs baked in muffin cups, topped with crispy bacon strips—perfect for an easy, crowd-pleasing brunch side.

I often make these for weekend brunches when guests come over, and they are always a hit.

Eggs & Dairy: 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, Salt and pepper, to taste
Meats: 6 strips of bacon
Vegetables & Herbs: 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
Other: Nonstick cooking spray

Step 1:: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2:: In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until just starting to crisp but still pliable, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3:: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in chopped chives if using.
Step 4:: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 5:: Twist each bacon strip into a loose spiral and place on top of each filled muffin cup.
Step 6:: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden.
Step 7:: Let cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing the egg cups from the pan. Serve warm.

This recipe always brings my family together for a cozy weekend brunch moment.
