Spring is just around the corner and it’s the perfect time for hosting a spring brunch! I like my brunch recipes to be fun, delicious and of course, cheesy so today I’m sharing Bacon Egg and Cheese Parmesan Cups that are made with two kinds of cheese to make them double delicious.
These Bacon Egg and Cheese Parmesan Cups look really impressive yet they are super easy to make. The Parmesan cheese cups can be made ahead of time and just add the bacon, eggs, and cheese right before serving.
The recipe starts with Parmesan cups made with Crystal Farms Parmesan Cheese. I’ve always wanted to try making them but never got around to it. Now I can’t wait to make them again because they can be used to hold so many things from salads to dips.
How To Make Bacon Egg and Cheese Parmesan Cups
Step One:
Cut out six 6-inch squares of parchment paper and arrange them on baking sheets.
Place about 1/4 cup of parmesan in a heap on each parchment paper square and spread into a four-inch circle.
Bake at 400 degrees for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are browned.
Step Two:
Remove from the oven and allow the parmesan crisps to cool for about 1 minute.
Overturn the parchment paper squares on the underside of a muffin tin.
Gently form the parmesan to the cups.
You can just use your hands or a drinking cup to help.
Allow them to cool completely.
Every great brunch recipe should also include bacon!
Step Three:
Cook your bacon in the oven.
Lay slices of bacon in a baking sheet with sides.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-18 minutes, or until your desired crispiness.
Reserve the bacon grease to use when scrambling the eggs.
Step Four:
Cook the scrambled eggs.
Since you want the eggs to be hot when you serve them, you can either make the scrambled eggs right before serving.
Or prepare them ahead of time only cooking them to a soft scramble and then warm them up right before serving.
The second cheese featured in this recipe is Crystal Farms Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. It adds additional flavor to this recipe and of course, extra cheesiness.
Step Five:
When ready to serve, scoop scrambled eggs into the Parmesan cups.
Top the scrambled eggs with bacon bits and Crystal Farms Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
These Bacon Egg and Cheese Parmesan Cups are a fun way to serve scrambled eggs! Try them at an Easter brunch this spring or surprise your family with a special weekend breakfast.
