Ingredients
6 large eggs
4 oz cream cheese, softened (113g)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (57g)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (56g)
1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (28g)
2 jalapenos, finely diced (approximately 30g)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or line with silicone liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise until smooth and well combined. Make sure there are no lumps of cream cheese remaining.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, diced jalapenos, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The amount of jalapeno can be adjusted according to desired spice level.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. This allows room for the eggs to expand as they bake.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg cups are set and lightly golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the egg cups cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for later.
Pro Tip: For an extra crispy topping, sprinkle a little more shredded cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles on top of the egg cups during the last 5 minutes of baking.Variation: For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add chopped spinach or mushrooms.
