A quick and hearty breakfast recipe featuring fluffy baked egg muffins loaded with crispy bacon and melty cheddar cheese, perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 6 strips cooked bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your muffin tin generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon pieces, and sliced green onions with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from oven and let muffins cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Use a small butter knife or offset spatula to loosen edges, then transfer muffins to a wire rack or plate.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even mixing and fluffier muffins. Do not overfill muffin cups to avoid spillovers. For extra crispy bacon bits, sprinkle some on top before baking. Rotate muffin tray halfway through baking if your oven runs hot. Muffins freeze well; wrap individually and thaw overnight before reheating.
