Here’s a tasty Low-Carb Bacon & Egg Muffin Cups recipe you can bake with your ingredients: Ingredients 18 strips of precooked bacon 9 eggs 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered) Salt and pepper (to taste) Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Italian seasoning Instructions 1. Preheat the Oven: Heat to 375°F (190°C). 2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease the muffin tin with oil or butter. 3. Line the Cups with Bacon: Wrap a strip of precooked bacon around the inside of each muffin cup to form a “bacon ring.” 4. Assemble the Muffins: Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella at the bottom of each bacon-lined cup. Add a few pieces of cherry tomatoes. Crack one egg directly into each cup. (For a scrambled texture, whisk the eggs in a bowl first and pour them in.) 5. Season: Sprinkle each egg with salt, pepper, and any optional spices to taste. 6. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. 7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffin cups to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm. --- Tips These are excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes on top before baking.
