Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • butter or olive oil for muffin cup pan
  • pinch salt
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Additional stir in ingredient ideas:

  • Meat: ham slices bacon, ground breakfast sausage
  • Sweet bell peppers
  • Gorgonzola cheese
  • Caramelized onions
  • Broccoli

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • While the oven in preheating, grease the inside of the muffin cup pan with butter for extra creaminess or use olive oil. Be sure to get all bottoms and sides.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and pinch of salt until well incorporated.
  • Carefully spoon in the egg mixture to the muffin pan. Fill about half way.
  • Then add in your additional toppings.
  • Top off with more egg mixture and a little bit of shredded cheese to the top of each muffin cup. Be sure to leave a little bit of room in each cup so it doesn’t cook over.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 26-28 minutes. Check it about 5 minutes before the recommended cook time.

Notes

Check on the eggs about 5 minutes prior to finish time. The center should be firm and a little jiggly, but not wet and runny. Think of the consistency of a custard. Too much cook time can dry out the eggs.
