Protein Packed Bacon & Egg Breakfast Cups
We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but busy mornings sometimes make it tricky. I know I have been guilty of giving the kids a baggie of cereal to eat in the car on the way to school. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a protein packed breakfast that you can make ahead.




Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1 package of bacon
- 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Cook your bacon. You can do this on the stove top or in the oven.
- I like to bake it in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Once it's done, let it cool and place on paper towel to drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack all 12 eggs.
- Add in salt and pepper.
- Whisk the ingredients together.
- Add in the cheddar cheese, and continue to mix together.
- Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Chop up the bacon and place a few pieces in each muffin cup.
- Fill each cup with the egg and cheese mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Makes 12 bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast cups.

Advice on storing these so I can warm them up really quickly in the morning.
I’m the only person in my family who eats eggs, so these would be exclusively be mine.
I would keep them in a Tupperware container in the fridge or if you have a muffin tin with a top that can go in the fridge. That way, you can take out the number you would want to eat each morning.
