Yum! These are delicious and filling. I used cheddar cheese, tomato, and onion for the filling this time, but the combos are endless, and this would be a great way to use up little bits of veggie or meat leftovers. Thanks for sharing! PAC Fall '12

These were amazing! I only had thick cut bacon, and at 25 min, it didn't looked quite done, so I left it in for another 8 minutes for the bacon to finish up. I was worried the egg would cook through too much, but it turned out quite perfect! I made a half batch for the fiance and I, and we had three each. I used 6 pieces of bacon, 4 eggs, some milk, tomatoes, left over rotisserie chicken and cheddar. My muffin tin was non-stick to begin with, but I sprayed the tin as the recipe stated anyways. These didn't stick AT ALL! They popped out easily when they were done. The thick cut bacon REALLY made these turn out wonderful, and I highly suggest it. :)

These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. I used onions and green peppers in the filling. I also added pepper to the eggs. My family enjoyed these. Made for Fall PAC 2012

Very easy breakfast recipe. Quick enough to make before work and still get there on time! I subbed red bell peppers for the tomatoes, but otherwise followed the recipe. Amazingly tasty for a low cal breakfast. Along with being incredibly easy, it's a great base recipe and easy to modify depending on your tastes. I've will added this to my recipe book with my additions. I can do the happy food dance!! THANK YOU!! GRPA

to get the texture of starbucks,( they are cooked in a vacuum seal bag ) you wold have to either buy a sous vide cooker ( how they are made) or could poach them in an egg poacher, and if you are an instata pot person, I think they have an insert to cook them, that is what makes them really good, only other thing is to try some 1/2&1/2 instead of milk or cut down cheese ( will make them creamier like a quiche.
