Slut Muffins

Weird little egg-bacon-cheese concoction from the oven this morning... as I whipped the egg whites to give the batter a little body it occurred to me that I'm eating a lot of air lately in soufflé form. Again, these things were made from things I happened to have on hand.

2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
4 bacon strips, cooked + the fat
good pinch of salt
3 tbs heavy cream
1/2 + 1/4 cup of grated cheddar
a slice or two of havarti (I only had one but two woulda been cool)

Preheat the oven to 425. Cooked the bacon, then distributed the fat into 2/3 of a muffin pan (9 out of 12, doy). Broke the havarti slice into pieces and laid them in the bottoms of the greased cups. Beat together the 2 whole eggs, cream and salt until thick. Crumbled the bacon into the batter, sprinkled in the half cup of cheddar. In a separate bowl whipped the egg whites into a stiff meringue, then folded them into the bacon-egg-cheese mixture in 3 additions. Teased the batter into the muffin cups; pouring it means splat, all slides in at once. Instead, use finesse. Once the cups were about 3/4 full I topped each with the second amount of shredded cheddar. Put the pan in the oven then reduced the temp to 375, baked for about 10 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove from the oven and serve immediately... the nature of the soufflé makes it real ugly, real quick. But yummy.
