Like some of the other reviewers, I used low-fat ham instead of the turkey bacon. The result was delicious, and easily customized for any taste by adding onions, peppers, whatever. They reheat nicely too, for a great breakfast on the go. A real winner!

My family can't get enough of these. I fill the cups with each family members favorite ingredients so everybody gets exactly what they like, still very easy. Making them again tonight for breakfast in the morning.

I made this with 97% fat free ham slices and it came out great.

I haven't made this yet, but can't wait. I will add some hash browns on the bottom of the cup to use as a crust.

Made these for Mom for her Birthday. Very easy to make and taste awesome! I made as written but added some sauteed green peppers, onions and mushrooms. Mom was thrilled! Thank you for sharing.

I am not great on turkey bacon but would fix this again.

The precoooked bacon strips are great for this. I used a mini muffin pan to make a bunch of bite-sized cups for a brunch potluck.

I have made this with a slice of ham covering bottom and sides of muffin cup. Good.

I made these on Mother's Day for my family and everyone loved them. None of us like egg bakes or quiche, so I thought I'd try this out. I mixed the cheese in the egg mixture before filling the nests. Even my brother-in-law, who was griping about the turkey bacon while I was preparing them, stopped eating to tell me how good they were. Great easy recipe.

I was a little afraid that I wouldn't be good at folding the bacon. I have never been great at origami. But, this recipe was very good and extremely tasty. I did add a little garlic to the egg mixture.

This is an amazing on-the-go recipe. I make these to take to work for a healthy breakfast or on the road. I didn't like the turkey bacon -- even "low sodium" turkey bacon made these unbelievably salty. I also recommended mixing the cheese in with the egg as well as adding some diced onion. Enjoy!
