Breakfast Egg Muffins with Bacon

Savory muffins filled with eggs, bacon, and colorful veggies, perfect for quick breakfasts or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, mixed colors
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and whole milk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients: shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onions, crumbled bacon, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to evenly distribute everything.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and lightly golden. Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the muffins before removing them from the tin.
  7. Serve warm or cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
