Ingredients
  

1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets, thawed)

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6 slices)

¼ cup whole milk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the muffin pan)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8 inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut rounds that are approximately 4 inches in diameter.

      Form the Cups: Gently press each round into the greased muffin tin, ensuring the pastry forms a cup shape that reaches the edges of each muffin cavity. Trim any excess pastry if needed.

        Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives if using.

          Fill the Cups: Carefully pour the egg mixture into each puff pastry cup, filling them about ¾ full to allow room for the eggs to rise while baking.

            Bake the Puff Cups: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg is set and the pastry is golden brown and flaky.

              Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the puff cups cool for a few minutes. Use a butter knife to gently pry them out and serve warm.
