Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Cups
I enjoy a big brunch spread as much as the next person. Pancakes, sausage, crispy hashbrowns, and eggs over easy. But honestly, who has time for all that on a weekend, let alone on a busy weekday before school and work? Still, eating a granola bar while heading out the front door with my morning coffee isn’t always the answer either. That’s why I love this recipe for Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Cups.

With a couple staple ingredients from your fridge and pantry these little breakfast bites come together in no time and can be enjoyed the day they are baked or saved for a busy morning later in the week.

Simply cook up a few slices of bacon, crumble them, and add it to a bowl.
Whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and seasoning, adding it to the bacon.

Then pour the egg and bacon mixture into greased muffin tins and bake about fifteen minutes and breakfast is ready!
Yes- It’s that simple.

What also makes this recipe perfect, is how you can change the ingredients to fit your family’s preferences and taste.
Use cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham in place of the bacon.
Swap out the Cheddar cheese for Pepper Jack.
Add in a little diced onion and/or peppers. Maybe even jalapenos if you like a little spice in your life.

As mentioned earlier, these are great the day they are baked, but can also be made in advance and kept in the fridge for breakfast options all week long.
Simply pop one of the breakfast bites into the microwave and heat it up for a few seconds.
Maybe even pop the breakfast bite between a couple slices of toast as you head out the door.
Just don’t forget the cup of coffee too!
