Press crepes into tins, lightly ruffling edges but being careful not to tear crepes. Place a small square of cheese in bottom of tin and pour egg mixture carefully into each muffin tin, filling just to below top of rim. Top with crumbled bacon (vegetarian bacon bits may be substituted). Temp. & Time: Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until mixture is firm and crepes are just lightly brown. Let cool slightly and carefully loosen crepe cups from muffin tins with a fork or knife, taking care not to break crepe edges.
