🍽 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Oven
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
2️⃣ Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
💡 For easy cleanup, use silicone muffin liners!
🥓 Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, parmesan cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
💡 For extra fluffy eggs, whisk for 1-2 minutes to incorporate air!
🧀 Step 3: Assemble the Egg Muffins
1️⃣ Evenly divide the bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions into each muffin cup.
2️⃣ Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, filling each cup about ¾ full.
💡 For a cheesier texture, sprinkle extra cheddar on top!
⏳ Step 4: Bake the Egg Cups
1️⃣ Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until set in the center.
2️⃣ Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
💡 Egg muffins will puff up while baking and slightly deflate after cooling—this is normal!
🍽 Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

2️⃣ Pair with avocado slices, fresh fruit, or whole-grain toast for a balanced breakfast.
💡 Dipping Idea: Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or sour cream!
