  • step 1
    ingredients   
    instructions Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  • step 2
    ingredients 8 Slices of Bacon
    instructions Lay the bacon on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until crispy.

  • step 4
    ingredients 12 Unbaked Store-bought Cheddar Flavored Biscuits
    instructions Meanwhile, spray a 12-cup muffin pan with flavorless vegetable cooking spray. Mold the biscuits to fit into each muffin cup without filling it and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the biscuits begin to brown and are baked about halfway through.
  • step 5
    ingredients 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
    2 Shallots
    2 tablespoons Minced Garlic
    12 Large Eggs
    1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
    instructions In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until the shallots are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs and paprika. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 4 minutes. 
  • step 6
    ingredients 2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
    1/2 tablespoon Salt
    1 tablespoon Pepper
    1 Bunch Fresh Chives
    instructions Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon, cheese, salt, and pepper. Return to medium-high heat and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Mix in the chives, and when the eggs begin to coagulate but are still runny, ladle the eggs into each par-baked biscuit to fill. Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for 5 to 6 minutes, until the eggs set.
