Servings: 12 egg muffins

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup of heavy cream or double cream or whipping cream
  • 3 oz smoked pancetta or bacon chopped or lardons
  • 3/4 cup diced fresh tomatoes drained of the liquid they release
  • 1/3 cup feta crumbled
  • 5 medium basil leaves finely sliced
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).
  • Cook the pancetta or bacon in a frying pan over medium-high heat until crispy (about 7-8 minutes).
  • Whisk the eggs with salt and cream until lightly aerated.
  • Line a muffin tray with 12 silicone muffin/cupcake liners. While not necessary, I do like to spray the liners with cooking spray to make sure the egg muffins don’t stick. Pour the egg mixture into the 12 liners. Initially, only fill about 3/4th of each liner. Divide the add-ins (cooked pancetta or bacon, diced tomato, crumbled feta, and finely sliced basil) evenly across the muffins. Add the remaining egg mixture (if any) until the liners are almost full.
  • Add the egg muffins to the preheated oven and bake until golden and the centers are set, about 18-22 minutes. After removing them from the oven, let them cool for about 5-10 minutes before taking them out of the muffin tray. The egg muffins will rise in the oven and then gently deflate as they cool. This is expected and ensures a tender texture.

Notes

Note 1. Variations: You can use the base of eggs + heavy cream and combine with other flavors you love (e.g., bacon + grated Cheddar, sausage + Cheddar, ham + grated Swiss cheese).
Note 2: If you don’t have silicone cupcake or muffin liners, butter the muffin tray generously before pouring the egg mixture in.
