Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon diced
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup finely diced vegetables such as spinach bell pepper, broccoli, zucchini, or tomatoes
  • 12 eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • Standard muffin tin
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a standard muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until it begins to soften. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, continuing to cook until the bacon starts to brown and the onion becomes tender.
  3. Add the diced vegetables to the skillet, cover, and cook until they are softened and the bacon is fully cooked. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then add the Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika, mixing until evenly combined.
  5. Stir the cooled bacon and vegetable mixture into the eggs, followed by the shredded cheese, ensuring everything is distributed evenly.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for expansion during baking.
  7. Place the tin in the oven and bake until the tops are set and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the egg bites to cool briefly before serving warm.
