Making eggs less eggy

I have a real phobia of eggs. I used to eat them as a child. I remember my mum frying up eggs and we would sit either outside or inside on a picnic blanket and that would be my picnic meal. It is also Serbian tradition to colour and boil eggs at Easter and I used to love eating the yellow parts.

And then I am not sure what happened but one day I decided I did not like eggs. This is a problem cause on paleo, eating eggs for breakfast would be simple and ideal as I am getting a little tired of eating meat for every single meal.

A few months ago I ate quiche for the first time (while drunk mind you) and didn't mind the flavour and couldn't really taste the eggy-ness so last night I decided to make my own muffin version of quiche. Its not strict paleo as there is dairy, but this is my first step in training myself to love eggs again and not gag when I smell them.

Ingredients (I don't measure anything - just whipped it all up)
organic eggs
thickened cream
basil
bacon
capsicum
fetta

Fry off the bacon and capsicum (I was lazy and used jarred capsicum strips)
While that is cooling beat the eggs and thickened cream. Add the rest of the ingredients and spoon into a muffin tray and bake. Simple. This is what they look like at the end.




They don't taste as eggy and I reckon once I get used to these I can start omitting the thickened cream to make them a bit more paleo friendly.
