Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.5 cup salsa
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Place bacon slices in the skillet and cook until crispy, flipping as needed, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain excess fat on paper towels.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
In the same skillet, wipe out excess bacon fat leaving a small coating on the surface, and melt butter over medium-low heat.
Step 5
Pour in the egg mixture, and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Divide cheddar cheese into four equal parts. Place each portion on the baking sheet, forming a circular shape about 5 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden brown around the edges, about 6-7 minutes.
Step 9
Carefully remove the cheese shells from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are still pliable but can be handled.
Step 10
Gently shape each melted cheese circle into a taco shell by draping it over the side of a bowl or over a rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once the cheese shells are set, fill each shell with the scrambled eggs, then add pieces of crispy bacon.
Step 12
Top with chopped fresh chives and a spoonful of salsa.
Step 13
Serve immediately and enjoy!
