Eggs & Dairy: 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, Salt and pepper, to taste

Step 2:: In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until just starting to crisp but still pliable, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3:: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in chopped chives if using.
Step 4:: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 5:: Twist each bacon strip into a loose spiral and place on top of each filled muffin cup.
Step 6:: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden.
Step 7:: Let cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing the egg cups from the pan. Serve warm.
