Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with melted butter to prevent sticking.

- Carefully crack one egg into each ramekin, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
- Season the top of each egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
