Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, sliced thin (reserve extra for garnish)

Bacon and Grease

  • 6 slices turkey bacon (or veggie bacon)
  • Non-stick spray or a light coat of oil

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray or oil.

Whisk the Eggs

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and slightly frothy.

Line the Muffin Tin

  • Press a slice of turkey bacon along the edges of each muffin cup to form a “bacon cup.”

Add Fillings

  • Evenly distribute diced peppers, onions, and shredded cheese among the cups.

Pour the Egg Mixture

  • Carefully pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for expansion.

Top with Jalapeños and Bake

  • Place a slice of jalapeño on top of each. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the tops are golden and set.

Cool and Serve

  • Let muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or store for later.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for extra freshness. Pair with toast or a side salad for a heartier meal.

Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

  • For milder muffins, remove jalapeño seeds.
  • Pre-cook turkey bacon slightly for extra crispness.
  • Experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
