Bacon Breakfast Souffles

Submitted by Zaney1

"This recipe comes from a Pillsbury recipe card book. They are pretty easy to whip up. The original recipe says to make these in a Texas sized muffin tin but I don't have one so I used my smaller ramekins instead. It worked out just fine."

Made them this morning - pretty good! Kind of like a little personal quiche. I also don't have Texas muffin tins, so tried the ramekins as the poster, *Z*, suggested - worked fine. I used spray, but next time I'll prep the dishes with a bit of butter as directed to prevent the small amount of sticking I encountered. The eggs didn't finish setting up as much as I would have preferred, so next time I'll pre-cook them a little more. Instead of bacon, I used sausage and added a little diced onion also. You could use diced ham, chopped artichoke, or any other quiche ingredient, maybe even add a dash of dill weed. All kinds of possibilities! Since there are only two of us, the other two will be great for a quick microwave breakfast.
