Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack all 6 eggs and whisk them thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Dice the bell peppers into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the breakfast bites.
- Crumble the pre-cooked bacon into small, bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
- Add the diced bell peppers, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese to the whisked eggs.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, stirring gently to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup approximately 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the breakfast bites cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes to help them set.
- Gently run a knife around the edges of each bite to loosen, then carefully remove them from the tin.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to switch up the vegetables or meats based on your preference. Spinach, mushrooms, or sausage can make great additions to your breakfast bites!
- Whisk Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly until they're frothy. This will help create a light and fluffy texture in your bites.
- Don’t Overfill the Muffin Tin: Fill each cup about 3/4 full to allow the egg mixture to rise without overflowing.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your breakfast bites as they bake. They should be set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They reheat beautifully in the microwave for a quick breakfast on-the-go!
- Serve with Dips: Consider serving your breakfast bites with a dollop of sour cream or avocado for an extra layer of flavor!
