How to make tortilla egg muffins
First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and use butter to grease 12 muffin cups. Leave them aside for later use.
Next, cook the bacon on medium-high heat until it turns crisp. Then, move it onto a plate lined with a paper towel and let it cool for a bit.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cream. Keep it aside while you prepare the tortilla cups.
Cut the flour tortillas into 12 circles, each about 3.5-4 inches (9-10cm) wide. You can use a cookie cutter, bowl, or cup – whichever works best for you.
Line the muffin cups with these tortilla circles.
Now, distribute 3 tablespoons (15g) of Parmesan cheese, the bacon, green onion, and feta cheese evenly among the tortilla cups.
Pour the egg mixture into the cups, making sure to divide it equally.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and some black pepper on top.
Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the tortilla cups turn a golden brown and the egg mixture puffs up nicely.
Move them onto a cooling rack and add a finishing touch of freshly ground black pepper and green onion. Then, it’s time to savor your creation!
