Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

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.
