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.
- 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
- Optional Add-Ins All Low-Carb!:

Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Grease two ramekins (6 oz size works well).
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Divide your choice of meat (ham, sausage, or bacon) between the ramekins.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the meat.
Crumble about 1/2 tablespoon of Boursin cheese on top of each frittata.
Place the filled ramekins on a baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Next, broil on high for 1 minute to get a golden top.
Let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
