Savory Breakfast Mini Cheesecakes image

Cheesecake isn't just for dessert. Give it a try for breakfast or brunch, serving either warm or cold. Great for portion control and a tasty 'grab-and-go breakfast' for busy weekdays. Garnish with parsley and more crumbled bacon, if you'd like.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

cooking spray
½ cup dry Italian-seasoned bread crumbs (such as Progresso®)
⅓ cup finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese
¼ cup melted butter
3 (8 ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
4 large eggs
1 ¼ cups shredded Gruyere cheese
½ cup fat-free half-and-half
⅓ cup diced ham
4 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
3 green onions, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 24 muffin tin cups with cooking spray or use paper liners.
  • Mix bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and melted butter together in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon mixture into each of the prepared muffin cups, pressing down.
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until combined. Stir in Gruyere cheese, half-and-half, ham, bacon, bell pepper, green onions, salt, and pepper. Pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecakes are firm to the touch and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in muffin tins for 10 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my mini cheesecakes. I followed the recipe exactly and they still turned out terrible.

These mini cheesecakes were a complete disaster. The filling was too runny and the crust was soggy. I don't recommend this recipe.

Overall, I thought this recipe was a bit too complicated for the end result. I don't think I'll be making it again.

I had some trouble getting the mini cheesecakes out of the muffin tins. I ended up using a knife to loosen them around the edges.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of cheese. I found the cheddar cheese to be a bit too strong for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of savory cheesecakes, but these were actually really good. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly crispy.

These were a great way to use up some leftover cheese. I also added some chopped ham and bacon to the filling for an extra savory flavor.

These mini cheesecakes were a delightful surprise! The savory filling was perfectly balanced with the creamy cheese layer, and the crust was flaky and flavorful. I'll definitely be making these again for brunch or as an appetizer.
