Cheesy Bacon & Chives Omelet Cups Recipe
Breakfast is one of my very favorite meals and with spring here there are a lot of occasions to make it extra special. There are May breakfasts and Mother's Day brunches to plan!
Even if you're just looking for an everyday way to make something easy yet delicious, I have a yummy treat to share today using my favorite cheese!
Enter a delicious breakfast recipe featuring cheesy bacon and chive omelets baked in a muffin tin.
I recently spotted a mouth-watering Cheddar, Bacon & Onion Tart.
It inspired my Cheesy Bacon & Chives Omelet Cups Recipe today.
My husband and I started enjoying Extra Sharp Cheddar quite some time ago and we haven't looked back since.
It's still my very favorite, especially when paired with egg recipes.
It has that flavor that I've always craved when it comes to delicious cheese. If you haven't tried it, add it to your shopping list. NOW. See, there I go being all bossy again. *wink*
Are you ready for an easy cheesy breakfast or brunch recipe to try?
These delish egg muffins are perfect for making ahead and freezing, too.

Have you ever made breakfast in a muffin tin before? What did you make?
Just making these. Would like to do so for a crowd for Easter. What are make ahead instructions? Thank you.
Just tried these and they were wonderful, freezing the extras for later. Cannot wait to serve to friends who are coming to visit next month.
All the ingredients are relatively low in carbs, what makes them 6 carbs, trying to stay low carb.
You said one is a serving at 355 calories, yet you have two(on the plate just below the nutritional values) which is 710 calories. I'm not criticizing you just pointing out something you could change.
I completely agree
Can these be put in freezer?
A good breakfast without cheese is a waste! I love these cheesy bacon and chives omelet cups! SO yum
This looks and sounds like such a wonderful dish! I will have to try this one at home!
I love to make things like this in muffin tins... it's perfect portion control and you can freeze leftovers to thaw out anytime you want them! Can't wait to try these!

I love making breakfast dishes in my muffin tins. Definitely going to try your recipe!
I want to make this for breakfast this week. I love the combos of eggs, cheese, bacon and chives.
These look so yummy. I make something similar with spinach, but I bet chives give it a great flavor.
How could I not like this? Eggs, bacon, chives, cheese...absolutely amazing!

Things are just so must tastier when they are muffin-sized. I love these adorable omelets.
These look really good. I love a quick and easy breakfast. We only use Sargento cheese, we always have shredded Sharp Cheddar and slices in the fridge.
We are huge Sargento fans and loyal customers. Their extra sharp cheddar is the absolute best!!
Oh yummy I have been looking for some new egg muffin recipes to help me with my Weight Watchers breakfasts. Mine were just ham and cheese or bacon and cheese.I am going to have to try this. I have not used onions in the egg muffins yet.
Yes! Those look so good! This is such a cool way to make eggs into a delicious breakfast!
These sound so tasty! Everything's better with bacon and cheese. Sargento is the only shredded cheese my son will accept.
You know what I love about this? EVERYTHING! It's super easy to make, and it looks so yummy. Thanks!
