customizable bacon egg cups! 🥓 feel free to mix

customizable bacon egg cups! 🥓 feel free to mix and match veggies based on what you have on hand. 👇🏼suggestions👇🏼
•feel free to leave out the cheese if you want to make these paleo or whole30 friendly
•try adding in 1/2 cup diced grape tomatoes + 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella + 1/4 cup basil ribbons
•we love doing this for a dinner inspired version: 1/2 cup finely chopped sauteed broccoli + 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
•any cheese or veggies should work well in these egg cups, just make sure they don’t have a ton of moisture otherwise the egg cups might get soggy (example: zucchini or really juicy tomatoes)
