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.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp melted butter to grease ramekins
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Boursin cheese I use Garlic & Fine Herbs
  • 2 –3 tablespoons chopped cooked ham crumbled sausage, or crispy bacon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional additions see below
