Bacon Wrapped Egg Cups with Horseradish and Cheddar
I’m a big fan of the muffin pan. It makes individual-sized cakes. And individual-sized quick breads. Individual-sized fun for everyone! And don’t even get me started on the virtues of the mini muffin pan. There is something less intimidating about the muffin pan when compared to a regular cake pan or a loaf pan, etc., like you aren’t putting all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. You have multiple opportunities, twelve to be exact, for obtaining success, which is actually not true at all. I mean, the same batter goes in each little cup. But I like to pretend it’s true, and that’s what matters. Because we are such fans, we wanted to use the muffin pan for something a little out of the ordinary, something savory, and something breakfasty (I’m standing by this as a word). So, here are our spicy bacon wrapped egg cups with horseradish and cheddar.
