Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese into four circular piles (about 1/2 cup each) on the prepared baking sheet, flattening them into thin circles. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are crispy but not overly browned.
Remove the cheese circles from the oven and gently drape each over a wooden spoon handle suspended between two cups, allowing them to cool and form into taco shapes.
While the cheese shells cool, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and gently scramble them, stirring occasionally, until they are just set. Avoid overcooking.
Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of scrambled eggs into each cheese shell, followed by two crispy bacon slices, avocado slices, a sprinkle of cilantro, and green onions.
If desired, top the tacos with a dollop of sour cream and a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Bacon Egg and Cheese Tacos!
