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*

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.
