How To Make Bacon and Egg Muffin Cups

2. Assemble the egg mixture: If you haven’t already, cook, cool, and crumble your bacon. While the bacon cooks, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper. Add the bacon, cheese, and onions to the bowl with the eggs, salt, pepper. Whisk until the mixture is evenly combined.
3. Bake and serve: Evenly distribute the egg mixture amongst the 12 muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the egg muffins are set in the middle. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes before using a knife to run around the edges to gently remove. Serve warm or store for later.

Recipe Tips

1. You can use precooked bacon to save time. Make sure it’s crumbled into small pieces.
2. Whisk the eggs first to ensure they are combined properly and no white or clear spots remain.
3. Distribute the egg mixer using a measuring cup with a spout in order to create less cleanup.
4. If you want a firmer egg muffin, increase the baking time by a few minutes.
5. Make sure you let the egg muffins cool before removing as removing them too soon could cause them to stick.
