southwestern quiche bacon cups
This recipe calls for 6 JUMBO eggs. You may need to add a few more eggs if you are using small to large sizes. TIP: Add finely chopped cilantro to the egg mixture before baking. We also like to add red pepper flakes to spice it up! These also freeze well, so you can prepare breakfast for the whole week! My husband loves these!

How To Make southwestern quiche bacon cups
-
Step 1Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Step 2Wrap a single slice of bacon along the walls of a cupcake pan (where normally place the cupcake batter). There will be about an inch of bacon left after covering the walls. Place this leftover bacon slice onto the center of the cup to cover the bottom.
-
Step 3Repeat step 2 until each cupcake cup is wrapped in bacon. Place cupcake pan in the refrigerator to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.
-
Step 4Dice bell peppers and onion, mix together with a fork.
-
Step 5Scramble 6 JUMBO eggs (7-8 large eggs) in a bowl.
-
Step 6Gently combine heavy cream with eggs until thoroughly mixed.
-
Step 7Add peppers and onions to the egg mixture, along with half of the shredded cheese and mix well. Save 1/8th cup of peppers and onions for a later step.
-
Step 8Remove the cupcake pan from the fridge and spoon the egg mixture into each cup, filling it up about 2/3 of the way (I use a 1/4 cup scoop to spoon the eggs into the cups).
-
Step 9Sprinkle the remaining peppers and onions into the cups and top with the remaining cheese.
-
Step 10Place in pre-heated oven on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes.
-
Step 11Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Garnish with chooped cilantro and enjoy!
