2 ramekins filled with eggs, cream, sausage and cheese. The frittata are cooked to a golden brown.

Baked Frittata Cups with Boursin and Bacon (or Ham or Sausage)

These individual frittatas are made in ramekins for a cozy, elevated feel. They’re rich, creamy, and just a little bit indulgent thanks to a swirl of heavy cream and a generous crumble of Boursin cheese. Think of it as comfort food that’s still totally on-plan.
