Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 15 mini phyllo cups pre-baked
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar shredded
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chives sliced

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F and set the phyllo cups on a baking sheet.
  2. Whisk eggs with milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
  3. Add a little cheddar and crumbled bacon to each cup, then spoon in the egg mixture until almost full.
  4. Bake 12 to 14 minutes until the egg is set. Top with chives and serve warm.

Notes

Don't overfill, the egg puffs as it bakes. Leave a little room at the top.
