Ingredients:
8 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated gruyere cheese
6 strips of bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
Non-stick cooking spray or butter for greasing
Fresh chives, finely chopped for garnish (optional)
Directions:
-Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with a light coating of non-stick spray or butter.
-In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
-Gently fold in the crumbled bacon and gruyere cheese, seasoning with salt and pepper.
-Ladle the mixture into the muffin tin cups, filling them just below the top.
-Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they puff up and turn lightly golden.
-Allow the egg bites to cool briefly before removing them with a knife’s help onto a warm plate.
Variations & Tips:
No gruyere? Sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese are great substitutes.
For a veggie twist, add chopped spinach or diced bell peppers.
