Instructions

1
Roll up the flour tortillas tightly. Using scissors, cut the rolled tortilla into sections approximately the height of your muffin tin cups.
2
Place each cut tortilla section into a muffin tin cup, allowing it to unroll slightly to form a cup shape.
3
In a separate bowl or pitcher, whisk together the eggs and milk to create your egg mixture.
4
Pour the egg mixture into each tortilla cup, filling them about halfway.
5
Layer in the cooked bacon bits, shredded cheese, and diced jalapeños.
6
Season the tops with salt and black pepper.
7
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tortillas are golden brown.
8
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve with hot sauce if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Press tortilla pieces firmly into muffin cups and up the sides to create a sturdy shell that won't collapse when filled.
Whisk eggs with milk to create a custard-like texture that cooks evenly and stays moist rather than rubbery.
Don't overfill cups—leave ¼ inch from the rim so the egg mixture doesn't spill over during baking.
Use room-temperature or slightly stale tortillas; they're more pliable and less likely to tear than fresh warm ones.

Substitutions

Cooked bacon bits → diced ham, cooked sausage, or smoked salmon (adjust salt)
Jalapeño → diced bell pepper, green chiles, or omit for mild version
Cheddar-jack cheese blend → sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend cheese

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes.
