Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 slices bacon
5 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup frozen peas
3 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
One 14.5-ounce package refrigerated pie dough
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Add the bacon to a medium skillet, turn the heat to medium high and cook until browned and crispy on both sides, about 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then dice. Set aside.
To a medium bowl, add the eggs, heavy cream, paprika, cayenne, Dijon and some salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add the bacon, peas and Gruyere; fold to combine. Set aside.
Unroll the pie dough and cut out 7 rounds using a 3-inch round cookie cutter. (If necessary, roll out the scraps and cut out more rounds.) Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Press each dough round into a muffin tin cup, crimping the edges.
Divide the egg mixture between the 7 pie dough cups. Bake until just set, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
