HOW TO MAKE JALAPENO EGG CUPS:

 

Start off by whisking together your eggs in a 4-cup measuring cupor a mixing bowl and seasoning them with salt, pepper and your favorite seasonoings.

Whisk in garlic powder, onion powder and cream cheese until combined. Stir in cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeño and bacon. Divide evenly into muffin cups filling each about 2/3 full.

Place 1 round jalapeño slice on top in each muffin cup, if desired. Bake in preheated oven for 12-17 minutes, or until set.

I like lining my muffin tinwith these silicone liners since they are guaranteed to pop out easily without sticking. If you don’t have silicone liners, be sure to grease the muffin tins with a non-stick cooking spray.

SOME TIPS WHEN MAKING THESE BREAKFAST EGG MUFFIN CUPS

  • Grease or line your muffin pan with silicone liners for easy removal
  • Fill each muffin cup about 1/2 – 2/3 full
  • Use your favorite combo of vegetables or protein – be sure to chop them up into bite-sized pieces
  • Season with your favorite spices and herbs – not a fan of basil? Leave it out and use thyme or for an extra kick, cumin or Cayenne pepper instead.
