Bacon Egg Muffins: A Protein-Packed, Delicious Breakfast on the Go

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
• ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)
• ¼ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
2. Prepare the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Add mix-ins: Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and optional veggies like green onions and diced bell peppers. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
4. Fill the muffin tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each one about ¾ full.
5. Bake the muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are fully set and lightly golden on top.
6. Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm, or store them in the fridge for up to 5 days for an easy, reheatable breakfast.

Customization Ideas

One of the best things about bacon egg muffins is how easily you can adapt them to suit your tastes. Here are a few ideas:

• Add more veggies: Spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes are great additions.
• Swap the cheese: Try different cheeses like feta, goat cheese, or Swiss.
• Change the protein: Use sausage, ham, or turkey bacon instead of regular bacon for a different twist.
• Spice it up: Add a pinch of paprika, chili flakes, or hot sauce for some extra kick.
