Egg Cup Recipe
Description
This Egg Cup Recipe uses crescent roll dough pressed into muffin cups to form a base and edges for holding the filling. The filling consists of beaten eggs blended with milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, offering a creamy and cheesy flavor. Cooked bacon cut into small pieces lines the sides of the dough-lined cups, adding smokiness and texture. The mixture is poured into each cup and topped with additional cheddar before baking at 350°F for 16-18 minutes, resulting in firm, golden egg cups with a melty cheese topping.
The contrasting textures of a soft egg center and the lightly crisp crescent dough create an appealing bite. The bacon adds savory notes and saltiness that complement the rich egg and cheese. These egg cups are well-suited for a quick breakfast or brunch and can be eaten warm or at room temperature.
They can be prepared ahead and stored briefly, making them convenient for meal prep. Greasing the muffin pan well helps the cups release easily. Adjust seasoning to taste for personal preference.
