Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup, shredded Gruyere cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Green onions
- 1 teaspoon, for greasing Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble the bacon.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded Gruyere cheese, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture.
Lightly grease a silicone muffin pan or non-stick muffin tin with butter.
Evenly distribute the egg mixture into each muffin cup until about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly across the tops of each muffin cup.
Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bites are slightly golden on top and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave before serving.
