Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables spinach, bell peppers, onions, etc.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs chives, parsley, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the bacon slices in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cool, crumble the bacon.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper.
  • Grease the muffin tin or use muffin liners. Divide the crumbled bacon evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Add chopped vegetables and shredded cheese to each muffin cup.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, vegetables, and cheese, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  • Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Pro Tip
Par-cook the bacon in the microwave for 2 minutes before lining the muffin tin — this ensures the bacon gets crispy in the same time the eggs set. Spray the tin generously to prevent sticking.
