Bacon and Egg Savory Parfait Cups

Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon
• 4 large eggs
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 10 grams chives
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Cooking instructions

1. Prepare Bacon Cups — Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tin with 8 slices of bacon wrapping each slice inside individual muffin cups. Bake for 15-18 minutes until crispy. Remove and let cool.
2. Boil and Whip Eggs — Place eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes until hard boiled. Cool eggs in ice water, peel, and mash them finely in a bowl.
3. Blend Cream Cheese Mixture — In another bowl, whip cream cheese with chopped chives, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and fluffy.
4. Combine Egg and Cream Cheese — Gently fold mashed eggs into the whipped cream cheese mixture to create a creamy, textured filling.
5. Assemble Parfait Cups — Spoon the egg and cream cheese mixture into each bacon cup, filling them generously and smoothing the top.
6. Chill and Serve — Refrigerate the parfait cups for 15 minutes to set slightly. Garnish with additional chopped chives if desired and serve chilled or at room temperature as elegant appetizers.
