Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Mini Cheesecakes for Breakfast.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a muffin tin and give it a good spray with cooking spray or line each of the 24 cups with cheerful paper liners.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and melted butter until everything is well combined.
Step 4
Now, take about a teaspoon of this delicious mixture and spoon it into each muffin cup, pressing it down firmly to create a lovely crust that will hold all the goodness inside.
Step 5
Next, in a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until it’s fluffy and inviting.
Step 6
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth blend.
Step 7
Once that’s done, stir in the Gruyere cheese, fat-free half-and-half, diced ham, crumbled bacon, minced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Mix everything together until it’s a colorful and flavorful medley.
Step 9
Now it’s time to fill those muffin cups! Pour about 1/4 cup of the creamy mixture into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
Step 10
This is where the magic happens! Slide the muffin tin into your preheated oven and let it bake for around 30 minutes.
Step 11
You’ll know they’re ready when they feel firm to the touch and have a lovely golden-brown top.
Step 12
Once they’re done, take them out of the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
Step 13
This little wait will make them easier to handle and even more delicious when you serve them.
Step 14
Enjoy your delightful cheesecakes!.
