These buffalo egg cups with bacon are your ticket to a quick and easy low carb breakfast!
If you've been following me for any amount of time, especially on Instagram, you know, I am an absolute lover of buffalo omelettes.
Over time I've gotten better, but sometimes I just can't get the flip down when making them, so I found a quick and easy, equally delicious alternative!
Buffalo Egg Cups
They are ridiculously simple to make, and even if you've tried them before, there's one new thing I tried that makes a world of a difference.
Bacon.
You can easily line the muffin cups with the raw bacon and set it to bake with the egg mixture. Doing so releases all kinds of yummy bacon-y flavor, making the final product even more satisfying.
I also love the gooey, runny, cream cheese in the center! Who wouldn't!?
Here's how I make 12 egg cups at a time:

Great recipe! I prefer crispier bacon so after lining the muffin cups with bacon I baked at 400 for 10 minutes. Then add the egg mixture...
