Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Pumpernickel bread
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Chopped chives
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
Cut each slice of pumpernickel bread into quarters and press each piece into the wells of the muffin tin to create a cup shape.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until softened and smooth.
Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper until fully blended.
Fill each pumpernickel cup with a spoonful of the cheese and bacon mixture, about halfway full.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling in each cup, being careful not to overflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are puffed and slightly golden.
Let the puffs cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then gently remove them and serve warm.
